As the cold snap grips St. Louis, the City's Street Department has proactively begun pre-treating snow routes in anticipation of the weekend flurry. According to a recent social media post from the City of St. Louis Government, residents might have seen street crews out and about as early as Thursday, laying down the groundwork to mitigate the icy conditions to come.
City crews will deploy snowplows once snow begins to accumulate, focusing on main, secondary, and hilly roads. When needed, the plan extends to side streets. Neighborhood improvement specialists help monitor conditions and report areas that may need additional attention.
This approach is part of the city’s updated Winter Weather Preparedness Plan, designed to ensure streets are cleared efficiently. Reports from neighborhood specialists guide the Street Department in addressing any missed or problem areas quickly, keeping streets safe and passable during and after snow events.
