City of Lee's Summit Continues to Plow and Treat Streets while Preparing for Wintery Blast on Sunday

City of Lee's Summit Continues to Plow and Treat Streets while Preparing for Wintery Blast on Sunday

February 5, 2010

By  Melissa Bedford Fears
Public Communications Coordinator

The City’s Public Works Operations crews are plowing slush and treating streets in residential areas after the City received another blast from Old Man Winter, ranging from flurries to heavy snowfalls, throughout the day on Friday, Feb. 5.
Additionally, crews are preparing for another storm event forecasted to hit the metropolitan area Sunday, Feb. 7.

According to weather forecasts, today’s heavy snowfall should continue over the next couple of hours with only flurries after 6 p.m. Temperatures are expected to remain slightly above to near freezing into this evening.

In order to make roadways as safe as possible for motorists, City crews will be plowing and treating residential streets on Saturday until the job is completed. The City’s snow supervisor will continue monitoring conditions to determine whether crews will need to treat slick areas Saturday night.

Next Storm Hits Area on Sunday
On Sunday, City crews will pre-treat streets throughout the day in order to be ready for the next storm forecasted to move into the metropolitan area late Sunday night. According to weather reports, this latest storm could drop as much as 4 inches of snow on the metropolitan area. Crews will be plowing and treating streets throughout this event.

Residents Can Help with Snow Removal:
• Remove all vehicles from streets to prevent a delay in plowing and treating roadways.
• Shovel snow to the side of your driveway. This will lessen the amount of snow left at the entrance of your  driveway by the snow plow.
• Clear snow from around fire hydrants in case of a fire emergency

It is also helpful to remember the City does not clear private streets, shopping areas, and certain private neighborhoods.

For more information about the City’s Snow Removal Policy as well as snow removal updates, contact the Snow Desk (816) 969-1870. Stay up-to-date on weather conditions, by listening to radio, watching television weather casts, and going on-line.
