Challenging driving conditions with snow, wind gusts and drop in temperatures

Drivers and pedestrians are encouraged to use caution on streets and sidewalks after mixed precipitation, dropping temperatures and blowing snow. There was a lot of moisture on the streets that froze as temperatures dropped overnight. 

City crews, including ten sanders, worked overnight applying de-icing materials focusing on Circle Drive, bridge decks and other intersections. Eight sanders will continue today applying de-icing materials on priority streets and plows will be addressing snow build-up on Circle Drive. 

Driving conditions are expected to be challenging today as wind gusts and snow continue. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and allow for extra time to get where they are going. 

Summer road maintenance activities, such as pothole patching and street sweeping, are on pause as crews address this spring snowstorm.
