SLCo Snow Removal Crews Prepare for Winter

Salt Lake County is responsible for snow removal for all of the unincorporated area and a handful of municipalities that contract with the county for this service. The winter season is quickly approaching, so it's important for residents to know what to expect and understand what they can do to ensure roads are safe and passable over the next few months.

The county has 70 snow removal trucks with ample well-trained crews ready to go. Residents are responsible for keeping the sidewalks in front of their homes clear, and are advised to pile snow onto their yard, not the street. It is recommended that residents clear their sidewalks after county crews have plowed the roads. As outlined by county ordinance 11.20.130 (http://bit.ly/rJ90sD), any vehicle left on a designated emergency snow removal route may be towed at the owner's expense.

County snow removal priorities are:
1. Major arterial streets: Provide connectivity and access to hospitals, fire stations, police stations and emergency medical services
2. Minor arterial streets: Access to public schools and selected "hot spots" such as steep hills
3. Streets serving public transportation
4. All remaining streets such as residential and local
5. Cul-De-Sacs

Residents should be mindful that snow removal equipment is harder to stop than a regular vehicle and less maneuverable. For snow removal questions please call the Public Works Department at (385) 468-6101.
