AS MORE SNOW FALLS, CREWS WORK IN ARTERIALS;

SECOND ROUND OF RESIDENTIAL PLOWING NEARLY DONE

**************************************************

City of Spokane snow removal crews Monday are once again working in the snow emergency routes and major arterials as our pattern of snow and more snow continues.  Truck plows, sanders, and de-icers are in the arterials. 

Graders remain in the residential streets, with the second round of residential plowing expected to be completed today and work on a third pass in some areas proceeds.  Residential plowing will be slow today because so much equipment is in the arterials.

In the residential areas, crews are finishing work in the final residential route remaining in the second round of plowing—8.  They also are plowing in residential hill sections 20, 22, and 24 for the third time and have completed route 23 for a third time.  In addition, they have completed section 1 for a third time and are working in 2, 12, and 13. 

Other areas will be plowed for a third time as needed in the coming days.  Browne's Addition currently is not scheduled for a second plow, but may be in the coming days as more snow falls.  (See the residential routes at www.spokanestreetdepartment.org/snowplow.htm.)
