Date: November 22, 1994
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REVISING THE SNOW ROUTE MAP.
BACKGROUND:
In August, 1994, Cy-Ride removed several collector and local streets from their routes
when they changed to the new bus route system. Local streets that were removed from
the system include:
Baughman Road - Beedle Drive to Dotson Drive
Beedle Drive - Lincoln Swing to Baughman Road
Dotson Drive - Lincoln Way to Baughman Road
Ferndale Avenue - 24th Street to 30th Street
Garden Road - Duff Avenue to Garnet Drive
With this change, snow route designations should also be removed from these local
streets to be consistent wuth City practices. Snow routes have been solely placed on
arterial and collector streets with heavy traffic volumes and on streets with bus routes.
This measure has been necessary to ensure that these streets are cleared of snow to
accommodate heavy traffic flows and bus service. It's been the City's policy not to
designate snow routes on streets that do not meet this criteria. By removing snow
route designations on these streets, the Public Works crews will be able to provide a
better level of service on other streets with snow route designations.
Staff has sent notices to the residents along these streets about this measure. No
comments have been received from these residents. Although this designation will be
removed from these streets, the City does expect to maintain good snow removal
efforts on all streets when snow emergencies do occur.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Remove snow route designations on the listed streets due to the bus route
changes.
2. Alter the list where snow route designations should be removed on streets.
3. Do nothing.
