TKC NOTE: Here's the latest advisory for all the snow that won't be plowed this weekend . . .
City urges residents to keep off roads during weekend snowstorm
A winter storm likely to bring 6-10 inches of snow is predicted to affect the City of Kansas City, Mo., from Saturday, March 1 evening through Monday, March 3 at dawn. While it is snowing, the City urges residents to avoid driving and parking on the street when possible. This will enhance the snow plows’ ability to efficiently and effectively remove snow in time for Monday morning’s rush hour commute.
Residents who must park on-street are asked to follow the below parking practice.
-On streets that run north/south, please park on the west side of the street.
-On streets that run east/west, please park on the north side of the street.
When vehicles are parked on both sides of a narrow street, it may not leave enough space for a snowplow, and that street might get skipped.
City snow crews assigned to primary/arterial routes will deploy on Saturday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. and will work around the clock to clear snow. Residential snow crews will work in neighborhoods beginning on Sunday, March 2 at 7 a.m. Crews working on residential streets will plow from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The City plows about 6,400 lane miles of pavement in its street system – this is farther than plowing a two-lane road from San Diego to Boston!
To keep traffic moving during a winter weather event, the City prioritizes plowing into two types of snow routes: primary/arterial routes and residential routes.
On primary and arterial routes, the City’s Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Water Services departments collaborate on removing snow and ice from approximately 2,400 lane-miles of pavement and apply salt as needed. These crews plow curb-to-curb and work around the clock.
On residential snow routes, City crews using smaller trucks work 12-hour shifts during daytime hours to provide a passable lane by plowing and applying salt on intersections, hills and curves. As possible, crews will widen the passable lane, which may still have some snow pack due to low pavement temperatures. In the event of severe snow, cul-de-sacs and dead ends will be plowed after arterial, collector and through residential streets. This ensures that City crews may use their resources most effectively.
Residents parking on signed Emergency Snow Routes should be prepared to find alternate parking locations to avoid vehicles being ticketed or towed. A list of Emergency Snow Routes is located athttp://kcmo.gov/publicworks/snow/emergency-snow-routes/.
Residents wanting to report slick spots or missed streets to the City’s 311 Call Center should wait one business day after snow has stopped falling. While crews are running assigned snow routes, it is assumed that all streets are slick. Only after snow has stopped falling and all snow routes have been run does the City’s 311 Call Center accept requests for slick spots and missed streets.
Will City Hall declare another emergency to pull cash from the new downtown bond package or something?
ReplyDeleteTake it out of the toy train money.
ReplyDeleteWill City Hall shovel it's snowy sidewalks and steps?
ReplyDeleteKC sucks
ReplyDeleteSurvival of the fittness. Tired of you crybabies.
ReplyDeleteFuck KCMO city hall. We'll have ice-covered side-streets for weeks. Been there, seen that.
ReplyDeleteIf they shovel, I'll move! Haven't seen much from them so far.
ReplyDeleteSean Demory is a stupid ass monkey and not smart enough to shovel his own sidewalk, let alone the entire city. Another incompetent nigger running something because he is entitled. He should have a shovel in his ape like hands. Thats what niggles are good at.
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck would anyone want to live in such a hell hole? Snow all the time, niggers constantly and the mix forever. No, no, KC is shit zone deluxe!!
ReplyDeleteHeadline should read "citizens urge city hall to get off their ass and plow our streets". Do you think Troy and Sherri will read this, or are they planning the next tax payer vacation get away.
ReplyDeleteIf there is one thing to hate about KC it's the snow warnings. Do this, don't do that, stay home, cross your fingers, and related BS. New York, Chicago and other cities stay active and full of life during snow days. Please shut the hell up I've got a business to run.

ReplyDeleteDon't listen to them. They employ worthless life forms like me to work for them. I make my career timing your stoplights and inspecting the signs you see on the highways. If you had any balls, you'd be hunting me down and getting revenge on people like me, who mess up the stoplights on your taxpayer dime. You'd be finding out who I am, and demanding that I be fired and stripped of my engineering license. It's people like me who are directly responsible for your troubles.
