The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for 3-6 inches of snowfall in the Lander Foothills from 9 AM to 11 PM MST Friday. On Saturday, if the storm results in the expected accumulation, crews will begin clearing first-priority routes, to ensure safety and accessibility. Secondary priority routes will be addressed starting Monday, once primary routes are completed and conditions allow.
We appreciate the community’s patience as our teams work to manage snow removal under potentially challenging conditions. While unforeseen issues, such as equipment breakdowns or water main breaks, may occasionally cause delays, our crews remain dedicated to clearing streets as efficiently and safely as possible.
Safety Around Snow Removal Crews
For everyone’s safety:
-Use caution when driving near snow removal equipment.
-Avoid driving through snow piles located in the center of streets.
Residential Snow Removal Responsibilities
Residents play an essential role in ensuring community safety during snow events. Please adhere to these guidelines:
-Do not push or dump snow from your driveway or sidewalk onto city streets or property. This practice can create hazards for emergency vehicles and other drivers.
-Clear fire hydrants and emergency routes near your property of snow.
-Shovel sidewalks and walking areas promptly, even if there is no concrete sidewalk underneath.
-Empty lots are also required to be cleared of snow.
-Avoid plowing the street in front of your residence.
You may remove snow from the concrete gutter section (18-24 inches wide) and place it into the street to allow for proper drainage of snowmelt.
Parking During Snow Events
To assist snow removal efforts, please avoid parking vehicles on City streets during snow events. This allows crews to remove more snow and ice, improving drainage and overall safety for the community.
Snow Removal Permits
The City does not issue permits for residential property owners to push snow onto City streets.
The City of Lander is committed to maintaining safe and passable streets for all residents. We thank you for your cooperation and efforts to keep our community safe during winter weather conditions.
