Omaha’s New Snow Removal Plan

Posted on October 21, 2010, by admin, under In the District.

You play an important role in keeping Omaha a thriving place to live, work, play, dine and shop. Now that the temperature is beginning to drop, it won’t be long before the snow starts falling. The Public Works Department has spent a considerable amount of time revising its snow plan. The new wheel fee will help fund what is designed to be an improved snow removal system. In this regard, additional private contractors have been hired for this year. They have been tasked with addressing the residential neighborhoods. They can also enhance snow removal in other areas. I really hope this works better than last year.

An important component of the snow removal process is getting the word out. You can help in this process. Please share the attached City of Omaha 2010-2011 Winter Snow Removal Plan and attached Snow Emergency Parking Plan (remember, the Snow Emergency Parking regulations are only to be used in declared “snow emergencies”) with your Neighborhood Association members and neighbors. Please encourage everyone with the internet to sign up to receive alerts via Twitter: @Omahapublicwrks

Let’s get the word out. Together, we can help improve Omaha!

Take Care,
