City of Duluth provides information on snow operations

[DULUTH, MN] The National Weather Service in Duluth is forecasting a winter storm in Duluth, with a forecasted 12” or more to fall between Sunday and Tuesday. Snowfall has begun, but is light at this early stage. City of Duluth snow operations crews are out and will be running full operations on our Priority 1 streets according to our snow and ice control policy until 6:30 PM today, at which time most staff will take a well-deserved rest. We’ll still have a small number of crews on duty to continue the work into the late-night hours, and will have a full crew again in the early morning. Our thanks to our street maintenance staff for their hard work through this and all snow events.
Residents can do their part in helping with street maintenance operations by remembering to get out and move their cars today between 4pm and 8pm from to the odd side to the even side of the road. For information about alternate side parking, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/media/c3qfqwg4/parking-calendar.pdf. Illegally parked cars can hamper snow plowing efforts considerably, as our equipment often has difficulty passing illegally parked vehicles on residential streets, so moving your vehicle in the changeover window is critical.
For more information on our snow and ice policy, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/snow/.
The City would also like to remind residents and businesses to lend a helping hand to their neighbors in need as they remove snow from their sidewalks. Safe sidewalk access is crucial to pedestrians, folks pushing strollers, and people using wheelchairs and mobility devices as they move about to errands, appointments, and the like. Removal of sidewalk snow within 24 hours of a snow event’s end helps our residents maintain safe mobility. For snow shoveling info, please visit https://duluthmn.gov/snow/snow-shoveling/information/.
As always, the City thanks residents for their patience and understanding as crews work to maintain roads during and after snow events. Please stay safe while traveling.
