Denver Snow Removal 2009 - 2010

Main streets, or most streets with stripes, are the priority for Denver Public Works and our largest plows. These are the streets that carry most of the city’s traffic as well as emergency vehicles and public transportation. The number of plows deployed and the option of pre-treating or anti-icing the streets depends on the weather conditions.

During major snow events when Denver receives 12 inches or more of snow accompanied by prolonged freezing temperatures, we will also deploy 4×4 plows to simultaneously clear residential, or neighborhood, streets.
