~ The City of Spokane has announced that they will be activating a Full-City plow in response to the recent heavy snowfall. According to Kirstin Davis, the Communications Manager for the city, this decision was made in order to improve driving conditions for residents.
Under the Full-City plow operations, crews will be working around the clock until all 2,200 lane miles of streets within the city are cleared. This includes not only the Streets Department, but also additional personnel from the Water and Wastewater departments. The estimated time for completion is three days after snowfall stops, although this is dependent on weather conditions.
Clint Harris, Street Director for Spokane, stated that crews have been focusing on clearing primary and secondary arterials over the past few days. However, with overnight snowfall and forecasted low temperatures, they will now be moving into residential areas to continue their efforts.
The city has reminded residents that their snow response priority starts with clearing arterials and hills first, followed by secondary routes such as schools and hospitals. Residential areas will be plowed last. In addition to plowing, crews will also be applying materials such as sand and deicer to improve road conditions.

To assist with their efforts, the Streets Department has designated four material sites around the city for drivers to replenish their supplies. The order in which residential routes will be plowed will be posted on the city's website along with an updated plow map showing progress.
Residents are advised that plow teams in residential areas will use snow gates to reduce berms at the end of driveways as much as possible. However, there may still be some accumulation in front of parked cars. To help with this process, residents are asked to park their vehicles on the odd side of the street.
The city is also asking for cooperation from residents in clearing sidewalks and driveways. They recommend a 36-inch pedestrian path on sidewalks and ask that residents assist their neighbors who may need help with snow removal. It is also important to not blow or shovel snow into the street, but rather back into your yard.
In addition, residents are reminded to clear snow off parked cars to make them more visible to plow drivers and to consider clearing snow and ice around mailboxes and storm drains. Any downed trees or large limbs in the right of way should be reported to 311.
The city is also urging motorists to drive cautiously in these wintry conditions. They ask that drivers slow down, be patient, and avoid following plows closely or attempting to pass them as it can be dangerous.
With the Full-City plow now in effect, the City of Spokane is working diligently to ensure safe and clear roads for its residents. They appreciate the cooperation and assistance of the community in this effort.
