FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

City of Moscow Working to Keep Streets Clear and to Begin Downtown Berm
Removal

 

Moscow, Idaho, February 1, 2008 - With the recent significant snowfall
in the Moscow area, City street crews have been working around the clock
to keep the City's streets open and passable.  The City's snow plows
have completed their initial clearing of most streets and the sanders
and graders are currently making their way throughout town. Starting at
7:00 PM this evening the City will begin snow berm removal activities in
the downtown area and will continue over the course of the next several
nights. Residents are asked to move their vehicles out of the downtown
area if possible to allow for easier maneuvering of equipment.

 

Travelers are reminded to limit non-essential travel, allow additional
time to reach their destination, and to keep watch for snow removal
equipment in operation throughout the City. The City of Moscow
constantly monitors and reports roads with slick conditions back to the
appropriate public works department for attention.  If citizens have
concerns regarding a particular road, they are asked to call (208)
882-COPS to report their concerns.

 

In addition to snow removal upon streets, the City also encourages
citizens to clear snow and ice from their adjacent sidewalks.  Under
Moscow City ordinances, it is the responsibility of the adjacent
property owner to keep sidewalks clear of snow and debris.   If a
property owner is physically unable to clear their sidewalks of snow and
debris they may contact the Moscow Snow Patrol, a Palouse Clearwater
Environmental Institute program at http://pcei.org/VolunteerSnow.htm.
Citizens are also requested to be observant of fire hydrant locations to
ensure that emergency access is maintained by clearing approximately
three feet of snow from around those hydrants.  

 

Tom La Pointe, Executive Director of Valley Transit, has suspended bus
services for Friday, February 01, 2008 in the City of Moscow due to the
inclement weather.
