Overview
- The Streets Division deployed 36 trucks at 2 p.m. Sunday to cover roughly 800 miles of lanes, prioritizing busy corridors and routes serving hospitals and fire stations.
- More than 40 employees were scheduled between midnight and 7 a.m. to keep circling salt routes through the night.
- Wet, dense snow and intermittent freezing rain are producing very slippery surfaces and are expected to make travel difficult Monday morning.
- Rain is washing salt off the pavement, reducing its effectiveness, forcing repeat applications, and raising environmental concerns about salt use.
- Officials urge residents to avoid nonessential travel, noting crews held pre-storm planning meetings to coordinate staffing and deployments.
