I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />SNOWPLOWING <br /> <br />Purpose: <br /> <br />Snowplowing is necessary to keep traffic moving in a safe condition in the winter months. <br /> <br />Policy: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey plows all City streets when the snow depth is two inches or more. Normal <br />plowing starts at 2:00 a.m. or sooner if possible. Wind conditions will affect starting times. Cars <br />parked on unplowed roads will be tagged and towed. It is against the law to push or plow snow <br />onto a City street from private property. Underground sprinkler systems installed in ditches and <br />boulevards will imt be repaired by the City if damaged by the snowplow. <br /> <br />Procedure: <br /> <br />The City of Ramsey is divided into five routes with each route containing at least one major <br />collector street iwhich is plowed almost immediately. Other streets are plowed in the order <br />determined by the driver for the fastest and most practical way to open all roads as soon as <br />possible. Cul-de-sacs and short dead end streets are divided into three routes and are plowed with <br />different plows which add speed and efficiency to the plowing operation. <br /> <br /> <br />
