Snow Removal


The Provo Streets Division endeavors to maintain adequate traction for pedestrians and vehicles properly equipped for winter driving conditions. This does not mean bare, dry pavement should be expected after each snow fall or ice storm. Furthermore, it does not mean that streets will be free of ice and snow.

Plowing priority is given first to arterial and collector roads, which are plowed curb to curb, and then secondary and residential streets, where traffic lanes only are initially opened.

Salting priorities are also collector roads and arterial streets, but we also pursue regulated intersections, hillsides and curves.

Following major storms when conditions have moderated, Streets personnel will handle such diverse activities as cleaning cul-de-sacs / dead ends and removing snow from business areas, depending on build-up.

No snow or ice removed from private property shall be deposited in the public ways, and include the following:

  • Pushing or carrying and depositing snow or ice on a public right-of-way or sidewalk.
  • The blowing of snow or ice into a pedestrian or vehicle travel lane.
  • It is the property owner's responsibility to clear sidewalks of snow and ice within 24 hours after the storm ends. It is also property owner's responsibility to clear their driveway and mailbox.
 
Complaints for snow and ice removal can be made to the Streets Maintenance Division office during working hours at 801-852-6704 or by emailing streets@provo.utah.gov. After regular operating hours, call Police Dispatch at 801-852-6210.
