Plowing of the streets begins when there is an accumulation of 2 inches or more of snow fall on the streets or severe icy conditions. The city snowplows operate based on a priority scale of 1 to 4, 1 being higher priority. Please be aware that if your street is of lower priority, and the snow is continuous through the day, it may take several hours and possibly the next day for your street to be plowed. Street priorities may change based on weather conditions. View the Snow Removal Priority Map
The city’s goal regarding snow removal is to provide timely access for safety vehicles into city residences in the event of severe weather. To accomplish this, we need everyone’s assistance and cooperation.
The City of Cedar Hills maintains approximately 30 miles of roads, public trails, and government building parking lots. These areas are maintained for snow removal, ice control, and salting by the Public Works Department from November 1 to March 31. Service is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After-hours service is limited, unless a snow emergency is declared. The city staff is committed to provide safe conditions for residents.
The city’s policy regarding snowplowing is that streets will be cleared according to priority beginning when the street has accumulated a minimum of two inches of snow and continuing until driving conditions are considered adequately safe. Streets receive a higher priority according to volume of traffic, location near schools or public buildings, and steepness of grade, etc. Typically, low-volume streets and cul-de-sacs remain the last to be plowed.
