City staff met to confi rm that procedures, staffi ng and supplies for snow removal and parking enforcement are fully in place. All snow removal equipment – both City-owned and contracted – will be available for use throughout the season, including multiple snow blowers for City buildings. During major storms, crews will work coordinated split shifts and utilize plows, sanders, bobcat front-end loaders and sidewalk plows to keep Everett’s main arteries, side streets and sidewalks clear. In the days following major storms, the Department of Public Works (DPW) will continue plowing and coordinate additional snow removal as needed.
