Starting this year, during major snow events we will also employ up to 110 4x4 plows to simultaneously clear residential, or neighborhood, streets. Denver’s never had a plan like this and we know it will make a huge difference. See what a 4x4 plow looks like...
There will no longer be additional parking restrictions on Snow Routes – just follow the posted parking rules, even during the worst storms. If your car is parked legally, you will not receive a ticket. More information...
As part of the clean up at the end of every snowfall, plows will clear the pavement in front of bus stops and curb ramps on main streets as needed.
For your safety and the safety of others, homeowners are required to clear their walkways within 24 hours and businesses/apartment building owners are required to clear walkways within four hours after snow stops falling.Click here for more information on walkway snow removal...
