-176- <br /> <br />Next year will bring several changes to our snowplowing operation. We hope to have the <br />remodeling of our north building completed. This will include the construction of our <br />salt storage area. With salt storage on site, we will be able to shorten our response time <br />to changing road conditions. Our newest plow truck will be equipped with several <br />features that allow the driver to focus their attention on the road and less on truck's <br />plow/sander controls. With the addition of several new roads and cul-de-sacs, the plow <br />routes may need to be redesig-ned, so we can stay within our 8-hour time frame. Other <br />changes will come in the area of trail and sidewalk snow removal. With the school <br />district's policy change regarding busing, students within a two mile radius of Ramsey <br />Elementary School will be forced to find an alternate means of transportation to get to <br />school. One option will be to walk. The Public Works Department will be impacted <br />significantly, as we wilt be called upon to clear our trails in the affected area before the <br />beginning of the school day. The Public Works Department will continue to discuss <br />options throughout the summer to find a solution to this uncertainty. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />No Action Necessary <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Director of Public Works <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />PW: 04/16/02 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />! <br />! <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
