SNOW REMOVAL PROCEDURES –
• Plowing begins when there is an accumulation of three inches (3”) of snowfall, or as conditions warrant.
• Class II and Class III roads will not be plowed if parked vehicles or other obstructions interfere with the safe and continuous operation of snow removal equipment. Equipment will return to plow after parked vehicles or obstructions are removed.
• School bus routes are assigned Priority 1 and are given special attention.
• Operators will return to widen plowed paths on roads as conditions warrant.
During a major storm, cleanup operations may be ongoing for several days
following the storm.
• Postal regulations require residents to clear snow in front of mailboxes to allow
for mail delivery.
• During the winter months, the freeze/thaw effects on pavement can rapidly
form potholes. Crews will be dispatched as quickly as possible to repair potholes. Temporary materials must be used during the winter and may not endure.
• When approaching snow removal equipment from the rear, travel a minimum of 200 feet behind, allowing for materials to be placed and abrupt movements.
• Use extreme caution when passing snow removal equipment. Before you pass,
please honk your horn and/or flash your headlights to alert the operator you
intend to pass.
• Do not park along snow routes. Leave room for plows to get through as safely
as possible. Park off the road.
• The District is responsible for plowing the paved trails. Trails will be plowed after road snow removal is in a stable condition.
• If an emergency situation occurs, call 911. Equipment will be diverted for emergencies when requested by Castle Pines Emergency Services, the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office or South Metro Fire Rescue. Castle Pines Emergency Services has constant communications with our staff during storm conditions.
