Jamestown (CSi)  The Jamestown City Engineer’s Office is informing residents that due to predicted weather conditions, the gates are being removed from the snow plows as they will be virtually ineffective for these conditions.

City crews will begin plowing Emergency Routes Monday as needed and will continue to monitor these routes and keep them plowed as best as possible over the next two days.

 City plows will be responding to emergency situations only and coordinating with emergency services to ensure people can get to Jamestown Regional Medical Center and other emergency destinations as needed.

City crews will begin snow removal in the DOWNTOWN area beginning approximately at 11:00 p.m. tonight, Monday- March 31, 2014 and continue during the night.

Downtown merchants and all public/private schools are asked to have their sidewalks shoveled by 9 p.m. tonight, Monday, March 31, 2014.

Please push snow directly into the street — DONOT create piles of snow.

Snow removal in the residential areas will begin at approximately 11:00 am Tuesday morning, April 1, 2014, and continue during normal working hours.

PLEASE NOTE:

The above schedule is contingent upon changing weather conditions and snow accumulation totals.

In Valley City, crews will start removing snow from emergency routes only in the city just before midnight Monday night.

Public Works Director Jeff Differding says crews will then start to clear city streets after 8am Tuesday, April 1,2014 beginning in the southwest corner of the city and working counterclockwise.
