The purpose of this procedure is to establish a clear, consistent framework for winter roadway maintenance in the City of Richland Center. It defines the Department of Public Works’ responsibilities and priorities to ensure public safety and mobility during snow and ice events while balancing environmental and fiscal considerations. This procedure applies to all City-owned and maintained transportation infrastructure—including streets, alleys, public parking lots, cemetery roads, and access routes to critical facilities such as schools, emergency services, and the municipal airport. It also provides guidance for interdepartmental coordination and sets public expectations regarding service levels and sidewalk and driveway maintenance responsibilities.
