SNOW/ICE REMOVAL
The Public Works Department, Municipal Services Division has primary responsibility for the removal of snow and ice from City streets, City owned parking lots, and the Great River Plaza.
Our goal is to clear streets after the storm has ended according to the following deadlines:
Snowfall less than 2": 12 hours
Snowfall between 2" and 6": 24 hours
Snowfall greater than 6": 48 hours
Major emphasis is placed on primary streets and hills, with secondary priority given to school areas. Residential streets are cleared only when the primary and secondary areas are completed. It is not the City's policy to clear snow from alleys or residential sidewalks.
Contact the Public Works Department at (309) 732-2200 for additional information.
