3. Snowfall of 2Ñ to 6Ñ. Typically, snow removal begins as soon as practical after snowfall has ended. The City will attempt to remove ice and snow from the City- maintained priority main routes prior to rush hour periods. Normally, priority main routes are plowed first. Once the priority main routes are plowed and opened, the remaining streets will be plowed and ice control applied. 4. Snowfall greater than 6Ñ. Depending upon the duration of any snowfall event, it may be necessary to continually clear priority main routes in order to assure public safety. Once snowfall has ceased, priority main routes within each route will be cleared before snow removal begins on remaining streets. Ice control measures will follow once streets are plowed full width. iii. Snow storage 1. Ongoing snow and ice control efforts require the use of City- owned rights-of-way and easements for storage of plowed snow. The right-of-way generally extends 10Ó to 16Ó behind the curb. Depending upon volume of snow, storage within the right-of-way could create sight obstructions at intersections. Intersection conditions will be reviewed case by case and resolved by appropriate methods. 2. Where space does not allow for snow to be piled outside the driving lanes, the City will remove the snow by hauling, as time permits. iv. Ice Control 1. The City of Roseville does not guarantee that streets or parking lots will be free of snow and ice after plowing. Bare, dry pavement should not be expected and may not be continuous on cCity streets throughout the winter months. The City attempts to maintain adequate traction for the motoring public. 2. In order to remain cost effective, the City will provide ice control measures at intersections of streets, hills, and curves. Ice control material will also be applied as deemed necessary on residential streets and at the beginning of cul-de-sacs. The Street Superintendent will determine the appropriate combination of chemicals and/or sand to effectively control ice in the given weather conditions. Effect on the environment is of the highest priority in selection of ice control products. c. Parking Lots i. Department 1. Public Works and Parks Maintenance Divisions are responsible for snow and ice control on Ccity parking lots. Exhibit D shows the current responsibility for each Ccity parking lot by Department. 2. As in other areas of maintenance, Departments assist each other as available and necessary to carry out snow and ice control operations. ii. Snow Event Type 1. Freezing rain, sleet, black ice, and freeze thaw. These types of events are based on changing weather conditions. Critical parking lots will have ice control material applied as soon as practical as determined by the Streets Superintendent or Parks Maintenance Superintendent. The remainder of winter use parking lots will be monitored for safe conditions and ice control application after all streets and critical lots have been completed. 2. Snowfall of less than 2Ñ. Plowing may not be necessary and ice control procedures may be adequate to produce safe winter conditions. The Street Maintenance Superintendent and Park Superintendent will determine if snow depth or drifting will require plowing of parking lots. 3. Snowfall greater than 2Ñ. Snow removal on critical parking lots will begin as soon as practical after snowfall has ended. These lots will be plowed simultaneously or immediately after street plowing is completed. All other winter use parking lots will be plowed as equipment and personnel become available after emergency plowing is completed. During extremely heavy snow events, critical parking lots may be plowed before snowfall has ended to allow for emergency vehicle access and Ccity business to be conducted. Page 2 of 10 Qbhf!33!pg!263
