Snow/Ice Removal

 

During winter weather, the City of Mendota staff uses a priority plowing system that ensures main traffic routes are addressed first, followed by residential streets, cul-de-sacs, alleys and dead ends.

 

Snow Control in Downtown Mendota

Every year, the Department of Public Works hauls snow piles out of the downtown area to keep parking spaces open and visibility safer and to reduce icy and hazardous conditions for pedestrians.

This year, snow will be hauled out of the downtown area into parts of Strouss Park. Most snow loadouts occur during the daytime hours the day after it snows; however, large-scale loadouts during and after major snowstorms may take several days to complete and/or occur during nighttime hours. Nearby residents may hear some noise from equipment used to pile snow when these loadouts occur.

​

During snow emergencies, residents are asked to not park on the streets and Downtown Public Parking Lots.
