CITY POLICY DETERMINES SNOW REMOVAL PRIORITIES
MILES CITY, MT., JANUARY 5, 2010: Each year questions arise over how the City of Miles City manages snow removal, both during and after winter storms. Most commonly, residents and business owners want to know two things: How does the City prioritize snow removal? When will Public Works finally plow the street or alley in front of or behind my home or business? The answers to those questions are dictated by a Snow Removal policy that has been developed over several years of storm clean-up and street maintenance in Miles City.
PRIORITIES
The priorities for snow removal in Miles City include: Emergency Access, Child Safety Zones, and High Traffic Areas. The highest priority, Emergency Access, includes the Holy Rosary Hospital campus, the fire station, and law enforcement center.
Secondly, crews begin work within the City's Child Safety Zones in the following order: CCDHS, Lincoln School, Sacred Heart School, Highland Park School, Jefferson School, Washington Middle School, Garfield School, and Roosevelt School.
Next, crews turn their attention to High Traffic Areas downtown, including Main St., Bridge St., Fort St., N. Montana Ave. & Pleasant St.
It is only after these areas are clear that the City begins work in the neighborhoods, under the following priority:
Pearl St. from Bridge to Strevell
Stower St. from S. 8th St. to Strevell
City limits to Otter St.
Leighton Blvd. from Washington to Sewell
Lake Ave. from Lincoln to Riverside
Horizon Parkway from Haynes to Ponderosa
Comstock St. from Strevell to Haynes
Lincoln St. from Montana to Lake
Cale Ave. from Main to Dickinson
Center Ave. from Main to Pearl
Dickinson St. from Strevell to MCC
Eagle St. from S. 4th to Tompy
Riverside St. from Lake to Merriam
Washington St. from N. 7th to Leighton
Marion St. from N. 3rd to N. 7th
Merriam Ave. from Riverside to Edgewood
Otter St. from Earling to Strevell
Pacific Ave. from S. 4th to S. 8th
Ponderosa Dr. from Horizon to Silversage
Silversage Loop
S. 4th St. from Pacific to Eagle
S. 8th St. from Pacific to Stower
Tatro St. from N. 7th to N. 3rd
N. 3rd St. from Tatro to Marion

Low-traffic streets and allies are plowed at the discretion of the director of Public Works, according to resource capacity and public need after priority areas have been cleared.

Some Miles City thoroughfares, such as Main St., Valley Dr. E., Haynes Ave., and Hwy 59 N. are part of the MT Urban Transportation System and are maintained by MDT, according to state standards.
PEDESTRIAN-FRIENDLY
Miles City is grateful to those who have, on their own initiative, cleared neighborhood sidewalks for pedestrians. The mayor requests that property owners, managers or landlords remove snow from sidewalks, within 24 hours following a snowfall, to ensure safe pedestrian travel.

I heard that this winter its been record snow fall since 1969. Is there anyone that can verify this?
