The city's snow removal program follows a priority system during winter storms. Main roads, bus routes, and streets near hospitals are cleared first, usually within four hours of a snowfall ending. Residential streets come next, typically plowed within twelve to eighteen hours. Sidewalks next to city-owned properties are cleared by public works crews, but homeowners remain responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of their own house within twenty-four hours after snow stops falling. Residents can check an online plow tracker to see which streets have been serviced recently. During major storms, on-street parking is banned on designated snow routes so plows can pass freely, and vehicles left on these routes may be ticketed or towed. Residents are encouraged to sign up for text alerts so they know before a parking ban takes effect.
