On that map, Braeburn from South Willamette to <br /> Brookside is shown as a second priority street. Braeburn is actually a third <br /> priority street. <br /> Several principal arterials within the city limits - Beltline Road, <br /> Highway 9 I-5, the Washington/Jefferson Street overpass, 30th Avenue, and <br /> Delta Highway - are maintained by either the State Highway Division or Lane <br /> County. Because the city has only minimal sanding equipment available, city <br /> crews do of sand or plow residential streets or other streets not on the <br /> priority ist. <br /> Befo a the ban is put into effect, the city will notify the public <br /> through a ergency radio and television broadcasts. The alert would specify <br /> the effec ive time of the ban and would identify affected streets or areas. <br /> For ore information about emergency snow routes, please call 687-5220. <br /> I <br /> <br />
