Street Crews Preparing for Potential Snow and Ice

With the National Weather Service (NWS) predicting snowfall tonight, City Public Works and Utilities street maintenance crews began applying anti-ice brine to all main arterials at midnight. The anti-icing effort will continue throughout the day until all major routes have been covered.

The NWS predicts the heaviest snowfall to be from midnight to 6 a.m. Thursday. Street Maintenance officials will continue to monitor the storm today and will be prepared to deploy material spreaders at the appropriate time.
