News Release Emergency Snow Routes <br /> October 22, 1993 <br /> Page 2 <br /> If for some reason a vehicle becomes stalled on a route where a parking ban is in <br /> <br /> II <br /> effect, the driver should take immediate action to have the vehicle towed or pushed to the <br /> nearest road not designated as a snow emergency route. <br /> ' Priority routes are those streets with high traffic volumes (arterial and collector <br /> streets), LTD bus routes, routes to and from fire and police stations and hospitals, steep <br /> hills and overpasses, and those locations that are historically hazardous during ice and snow <br /> <br /> i <br /> storms. A map showing priority one, two, and three streets is scheduled to be published <br /> October 24 in The Register-Guard. <br /> Several principal arterials within the city limits - Beltline Road, Highway 99, I-5, the <br /> <br /> h <br /> Washington/Jefferson Street overpass, 30th Avenue, and Delta Highway -are maintained by <br /> <br /> f <br /> either the State Highway Division or Lane County. Because the city has limited sanding <br /> equipment available, city crews do not sand or plow residential streets or other streets not <br /> on the priority list. <br /> Before the ban is put into effect, the city will notify the public through radio and <br /> television broadcasts. The alert would specify the effective time of the ban and would <br /> <br /> Iii <br /> identify affected streets or areas. <br /> For more information about emergency snow routes, please call 687-5220. <br /> <br /> I <br /> <br /> i. <br /> <br />
