City of Duluth provides update on snow

Sunday, March 12, 6:30 pm

[DULUTH, MN] Duluth has received 14-16” of snow over the weekend and we currently have full crews and equipment completing a second consecutive 16-hour shift. Plow crews have worked throughout the weekend keeping main roads open and were able to progress into many residential streets. Our thanks to them for keeping main roads open for ambulances, emergency vehicles, etc. We will have a limited crew on this evening to continue working into residential roads and for emergencies as many of our operators take a much needed and required rest. Full crews and equipment will return at 2:00 am to continue their work.

Residents can do their part in helping with street maintenance operations by remembering to get out and move their cars today by 8pm from the odd to the even side of the road. We know it will be difficult with this much snow, so please help your neighbors out if you can. Doing so will prevent crews from getting equipment stuck in neighborhoods with cars parked on both sides of the road. For information about alternate side parking, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/media/1118/parking-calendar.pdf.

For more information on our snow and ice policy, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/snow/.

A friendly reminder, too, that property owners and residents ought to shovel snow from the sidewalks abutting their properties 24 hours after a snow event so that residents who rely on pedestrian travel can do so safely.

The City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as crews work to maintain roads during and after these snow events. Please stay safe while traveling.
