Here’s an AI summary of the 44-page plan:
Today we announced the new and improved 2026-2027 LFUCG Snow & Ice Control Plan. Here’s a high-level overview of the biggest changes we made:
– We changed the storm pretreatment approach so all ranked streets are salted within the first four hours of a winter storm.
– We added 16 additional drivers to the snow and ice response team.
– Ranked 3 and 4 streets have been combined into a single category to increase driver efficiency.
– Increased staffing will be used to treat hot spots, manage contract operations and respond to public safety concerns.
– We have agreements with eight disaster-response contractors to supplement city crews when necessary.
– Enhanced technology will increase efficiency in treatment routes and informing the public.
– Major roads like Man o’ War, Alumni, Clays Mill and Polo Club Blvd. will be serviced by contractors, freeing up LFUCG staff to focus more attention on lower-ranked roads.
– A new public weather dashboard will keep residents updated with our winter weather response data.
