Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item DATE: January 27, 2026 ITEM: 4.d. ITEM DESCRIPTION: Snow & Ice Control Policy Recommendations Background The City currently has a Snow & Ice Control Policy to inform City staff and residents on how to manage snow events within the City of Roseville. The current policy was last updated in 2014 and has not been reviewed thoroughly since then. To make sure the policy meets current needs of the city and to how City operations have changed, staff has drafted a revised Snow & Ice Control Policy. Overall, staff has updated the format of the policy to make it easier to read and understand for the public and staff. The majority of the policy remains unchanged. Some key points of the current policy remain unchanged: • To have streets and critical parking lots plowed full width within 10 hours after the snow has quit falling for snow events greater than two inches. • City begins plowing when 6" of snow has fallen. • Ice Control - the City does not have a bare pavement policy. o Bare, dry pavement should not be expected and may not be continuous on City streets throughout the winter months. The City attempts to maintain adequate traction for the motoring public. • Roadside considerations policy within the right-of-way such as trash receptacles, mailboxes, landscaping and irrigation remain unchanged. • Parking regulations remain unchanged for most areas other than the Snowplow Pilot Area. Some changes that are proposed to the revised policy: • Change the term "collector routes" to "priority main routes" since it is better understood by residents. • Add a limit on the maximum time plow drivers can work in a 24-hour day. o For safety reasons, no operator shall work more than a 14-hour shift in any 24-hour period. • Add Snowplow Pilot Area. • Update exhibit list. Recommendation Receive presentation and provide recommendations to the City Council on the revised Snow & Ice Control Policy.
