What level of service is expected for snow removal on streets?

 It is not the position of the City of Syracuse to maintain a bare pavement policy or to provide snow and ice removal on every city street during or after every snow storm. In some cases, after traffic movements have occurred on snow-covered streets, snowplows are not as effective for totally clearing packed snow or icy roadways. Temperatures, storm duration and intensity have a profound effect on the ability of snowplows to clear streets and for salt to melt the snow and ice.
