The present system normally begins at night with the plowing of all snow emergency routes, then on the follo ' g two consecutive days (depending on calendar date) the north-south and the east- est residential streets are plowed. This procedure, covering three days takes appro ' ately 45 hours from start to completion. The new plan calls for shorte ng this to a two-phase system of plowing or approximately 20 hours from s art to completion. Under the new system all snow emergenc routes would be plowed at night as they currently are but,in addition,one-half(ei er the east half or the west halfl of all north-south residential streets will also plowed. This will generally be true throughout the city although exceptions ay be necessary to accommodate heavy parking demand areas and other factors. Then,beginning immediately on the following day all the east-west residenti streets and the other side of the north-south residential streets would be lowed. This proposal will enable the Public W ks Department to plow the city faster and the quality will improve because the sn w will not be compacted by vehicle traffic as much before plows get there. Additio y it will enable the depariment to react to more frequent and lesser amounts of s owfalls. In order to inform residents which str ts will be plowed, the existing snow emergency destination signs will rem 'n plus signs will be placed on the residential � streets designating them snow emerg ncy routes if they are to be plowed under the snow emergency route phase. For ex ple, the sign on a residential street would read "Snow Emergency Route—No arking This Side of Street." This should also have the effect of simplifying the ne s media announcements. The announcements would basically call for no parking on marked or designated snow emergency routes at night and then o parking on all the non-designated or unmarked routes the next day until ey are plowed. 1 � . . ,. _. , . �.�=��d� . � �LI W RAM This new plan will require more equipment, ersonnel, a total redesign of the plowing system and the placement of some ur to five thousand snow emergency route signs throughout the city, all major ta s. In the past the biggest restraint had been unavailable personnel. The Public Wo ks Depazhnent obtained approvals for the creation of a new tifle which involves merger of several other existing titles and will provide for more people being abl to operate truck plows. Because of the scope of this operation the Public Works D partment has proposed the West Side as a test area this winter, 1989-1990. They fee it is a good area because it is separated from other neighborhoods of the city by v' tue of the Mississippi River. The test area will provide important information a to just what the parking problems might be and what additional considerati ns must be taken into account to have , this plan function with the least amount o inconvenience to residences before it is initiated throughout the city the followin winter.
