Snow Removal

View on miamiok.gov β†’

Overview

The priority plan for snow removal was developed by identifying a basic system of streets and roads essential to the continuation of traffic movement. While developing this plan, the realistic capabilities of the City of Miami, such as equipment and personnel, were kept in mind. Priority routes were developed by considering traffic volume, access to emergency services, and access to primary school bus routes.

Our goal is to provide snow removal to facilitate safe traffic flow for those drivers using city streets and roads. During major storms, every available piece of equipment will be deployed.
