Breathe new life into broken belongings at Repair Café Feb. 1 - City of Overland Park, Kansas
Winter Weather Operations

Ahead of Monday’s snowfall, crews treated streets with salt and magnesium chloride. As snow began to accumulate Tuesday morning, they shifted to plowing operations. The snow is expected to continue into the night Tuesday and early Wednesday. 

Crews will begin plowing neighborhood streets after the snow stops falling. We expect it will take at least 48 hours from the time the snow stops falling to clear all streets. We ask that residents wait for crews to complete all routes before filing requests for snow removal through OPCares.

While streets are being plowed, residents can help by:

  • Moving vehicles off the street until it has been plowed to leave a clear path for plow drivers.
  • Waiting until plows have made at least one clear path before driving on a street.
  • Removing basketball goals, trash cans and other obstacles from the curb or driveway entrances.
