RICHLAND, Wash. – As winter approaches, The City of Richland is gearing up for potential snow and ice conditions.
When forecasts predict such weather, street maintenance crews mobilize to apply anti-icing chemicals to key areas.
The streets supervisor decides on additional resource deployment based on the storm’s type, accumulation, and recurrence.
Richland’s snow and ice control prioritizes vehicular traffic. The city provides a snow and ice control map on its website.
The priority system is as follows:
1. Main arterial streets
2. Collector streets and school zones
3. High priority steep streets
Residential streets are cleared only when snow accumulation is high.
For those looking to stay updated during a winter storm, the City of Richland posts regular updates on its website and Facebook page.
