Portland is preparing for winter in a fun way by letting the public help name five of its 56 snowplows. The Portland Bureau of Transportation is accepting name submissions starting on Monday until January 5, according to the City of Portland.
Portland Bureau of Transportation is holding a snowplow naming contest. People can submit creative names online, as long as they don’t include inappropriate language. Multiple entries are allowed, and by submitting, participants agree the city can use the name publicly. Portland Bureau of Transportation will pick the top 20 names in early January, and the community will vote for their favorites the following week. The winners will be announced in early February, as reported by the City of Portland.
Portland residents are encouraged to prepare for winter by making emergency plans, getting their vehicles ready, and staying updated through Portland Bureau of Transportation alerts. The City of Portland website also links to Portland Bureau of Transportation's Winter Weather Center for real-time weather and road conditions. In addition, residents can join the fun by submitting names for the city's snowplows in Portland Bureau of Transportation's snowplow naming contest. For more information and to submit a name, visit the Portland Bureau of Transportation contest page.
