Mayor Charles Meeker outlined the city's plans for pre-treating roads with brine before a storm, and clearing roads on a priority basis.
Posted — UpdatedMayor Charles Meeker also outlined the city's plans for clearing streets in the event of winter weather. Crews will pre-treat roads with brine before a storm hits, to speed the melting time of any ice or snow that lands.
City crews will then focus on keeping major roadways and public transit routes passable for vehicles equipped with all-weather tires, snow tires or chains, or other special equipment designed for icy road conditions.
The city has set a priority system for bridges and roads to determine the order in which salt is spread and plowing occurs.
