ALERT TO RESIDENTS – SNOW ROUTES WILL BE IN EFFECT
 

Posted 02/09/10

With winter weather upon us, the City of Moline is alerting residents that snow routes will be in effect until all routes have been cleared following the snow fall. All vehicles must be moved from snow routes to provide for efficient snow removal. City snow routes are marked with signs. Vehicles not removed from the snow routes will be towed.

Moline’s snow and ice removal is a 24 hour operation and snow routes will be in effect until all routes are clear. Motorists are advised to use extreme caution when driving in snow and icy conditions, and stay a safe distance of at least 100 feet behind the snow plows.

Residents are also encouraged to refrain from parking on city streets, which are not designated as snow routes, after a snowfall. Residents should park in driveways when at all possible, as this is helpful to city crews during the snow removal process.

Residents with questions regarding whether or not they are located on a snow route may contact the Public Works Department at 309-524-2400. Residents may also visit the city’s website at www.moline.il.us, and click on “Winter Preparedness” located under Quick Links on the homepage.

The City of Moline further reminds home and business owners that it is the property owner’s responsibility to remove snow from sidewalks that border their property within 12 hours of a snow fall ending.
