TACOMA, Wash. – The City of Tacoma’s Street Operations Division is holding its annual snow and ice training on November 7 and 8 between 7:30 AM to 4 PM each day. During this timeframe, emergency snow vehicles will be dispatched for crews to experience operating these vehicles along snow routes and around traffic.
During a snowstorm event, City crews plow and de-ice streets on a priority level, starting with primary arterial streets and then followed by secondary and auxiliary routes. The time required to clear these routes depends on the intensity of a particular snowstorm and how much snow or ice accumulates.
More information on winter preparedness – including the snow routes map – is available at cityoftacoma.org/inclementweather.
