Snow and Ice Operations
Snow crews are actively working to treat and plow City streets.
Crews prioritize main streets – thoroughfares and large collector streets in neighborhoods, then treat and plow neighborhood residential streets.
This process prioritizes the movement of emergency vehicles with key life-safety missions and more of the general traveling public.
Preparations Last Week
On Thursday, the City’s snow plow fleet began preparing for this storm by ensuring trucks were ready to plow and loaded with salt. Crews began pre-treating residential streets with salt on Friday and spread salt on Saturday before the weather began.
You Can Help Snow Crews
Please give snow crews at least 24 hours after the ice and snow stop falling before reporting missed plowing.
Drivers can assist snow crews by:
- Moving any cars parked on the street to driveways, allowing snow plows to safely navigate streets.
- Staying home if you can.
- Planning ahead if you must go out, and leave plenty of space for snow trucks. Please stay back at least 100 feet from any snow crews.
Overland Park has more than 2,000 lane miles of streets, along with 2,000 cul-de-sacs. Residents can check the snow map to see the latest conditions on City streets by visiting opkansas.org/Snow.
