Maintenance Area 9A: Snow and Ice Removal Plan: Winter 1972-1973

The removal of snow and ice from our roadways has had considerable discussion as to proper procedures for several years. In the past, the traveling public expected some delays in snow and ice removal, but now, the "bare pavement" is expected or rather demanded shortly after any storm.
The transportation system is an extremely important cog in our economy. Timetables must be met; getting to work on time and meeting equipment and material deadlines are major factors of this timetable.

To ensure effective and efficient snow and ice removal and preserve the ecology of the area, a well arranged plan must be developed to provide such service.
