The National Weather Service is forecasting that we will likely see some snow over night. Please plan accordingly and allow yourself plenty of time for your morning commute.
What does it take to clear and treat Liberty's 350 lane-miles of roadway?
-- 21 public works employees.
-- Nine 2.5-ton dump trucks.
-- Two 1-ton dump trucks with salt/sand spreaders and plows.
-- Six pick-up trucks with plows.
Residents can make it easier on crews during winter storms by parking vehicles in driveways when possible. This makes it safer and more efficient for our City crews to plow the streets when vehicles are not parked in the roadways.
Other tips to help expedite snow removal and ensure public safety:
-- If you don't have to out to get drive, don't!
-- Children are attracted to snowplow trucks. Teach your children to stay behind the sidewalks when they see the trucks coming.
-- When shoveling your driveway, avoid placing the snow from your driveway back into the street. You will also find that less snow is pushed into your driveway by shoveling the snow from your driveway to the down side of your driveway (down street is the direction traffic flows).
-- If you have a fire hydrant near your property be sure to remove snow from around it to assist fire personnel in the event of a fire.
-- Remember to clear sidewalks adjacent to your property.
