Jeff cam 3 wx mic when the snow starts to fall this weekend. Not every street will be plowed. The city of reno. Just doesnt have the resources to do that. Instead. They plow based on priority. Kolo 8 news nows colin lygren joins us Live Corporation yard. With when they plow. How they plow. And where they plow. Colin . Sarah. The city of reno has 19 snow plows here at their corporation yard. They all follow a specific route trying to get the streets clear. But there are so many streets in reno. They cant clear all of them. Two thousand two hundred forty four. Thats how many lanes miles of road the city of reno has to worry about. When it snows. Every storm we take serious, no matter what the size of it is. But running a plow over every single road. Next to impossible. Reno would need about 50 snow plows to do that. Nearly triple what they currently have. We do not have a bare pavement policy, we do not have the resources to be able to do that, so we concentrate on the arterials and collectors and the problematic residential roadways. The steeper hills, the curves, things of that nature. The city is split into 19 different sections. A single plow tackles each one. Focusing first on the big roads. And working their way down to all of the schools, the hospitals, reno pd, the fire stations, they all have priority. Within the 19 sections. Different streets have different priorities. In route 10 for example. Virginia. Sierra. Arlington and fourth will all be plowed first. But first street. West street. And commercial row. Might not see a plow for a while. If we get a large accumulation, once all that is done, then we work back into the residentials to try and remove the snow from the roadways there. The plowing priority makes sense. The more cars a road has. The more dangerous it is. The quicker it needs to be cleared. So you want to clear those first, because accumulatively, more and more cars will be gravitating toward those roadways. Back out here live the take away should be. Dont be surprised if you see your residential street is not plowed when you wake up monday morning. But the other roads you drive to get to work. They will likely be cleared.
