Snow plowing in Lansing

With all of the snow in Mid-Michigan there are lots of questions about why some neighborhoods are plowed and others aren't...and the responsibilities of residents.  If you live in the City of Lansing, here is some information:

Clearing Snow

When you clear your sidewalks and drives, you should know that:

• Snow and ice cannot be piled or pushed into the street or the shoulder of the road.
• Snow and ice cannot be piled in the public Right of Way. It can not impair vehicular or pedestrian traffic, or obstruct the view of a driver.

Salting of Streets

City crews will salt 139 miles of designated City streets (State trunklines and major streets) and continue until snow accumulates up to 2 inches deep.  Please do not tailgate salt trucks, remember, they are tossing rock salt and are often driving slower then the rest of the traffic.

Plowing

When snow depth exceeds 2 inches on State trunklines and major streets, City crews will start plowing on 139 miles of designated City streets. When snow depth on local streets exceeds 4 inches, crews will start plowing the local streets as soon as the State trunklines and major streets are completed.  Please do not "crowd the plow", our trucks are driving slower and need plenty of room to push the snow to the curb, use caution when passing a plow truck.

Again, these are only a few of the regulations for the City of Lansing only.  Check your local city, township, county websites for information regarding where you live.  Be Safe!
