Greetings Eastsiders, With our first significant snowfall of the year, I wanted to share a quick update with you from the city. While the City of Saint Paul has not declared a snow emergency, crews will be doing "center cuts" on residential side streets today. This is a plowing technique in which crews only plow in the center drive lanes between parked cars, allowing people to drive more easily on residential streets to access the main arterial streets. Residents can expect snow and minor windrows in and along the parking lanes of residential streets. If people are able to move vehicles off streets, it is appreciated by the plow drivers, and they will attempt to clear snow to the curb where possible.
