The City of Eugene Public Works Maintenance Division is preparing for the snowfall or freezing temperatures predicted into the weekend
Eugene, OR – According to the statement, the division staff keep a very close eye on the forecast during winter, often getting multiple updates each day.
Public Works has a fleet of 13 plows, eight sanders, three de-icer application trucks and an assortment of small equipment.
Several trucks are loaded with de-icer now and are waiting to be deployed as necessary.
The forecast does not call for many inches of snow to fall on the Willamette Valley floor.
As such, the City’s response if it does snow or the streets become icy is to distribute de-icer and sand on City-maintained streets according to its priority map, which can be found on the City website.
More than two inches of snow must fall before plows can work effectively.
