While each snow event is unique, for a typical snowfall of 2 inches or more, city staff aims to have streets and cul-de-sacs cleared within nine hours after snow quits falling.

Additionally, after a citywide plow has been completed and the full plow crew goes home to rest, the city will retain a small crew to handle routine follow-up calls.

Note: It is unlawful to shovel, plow or blow snow into the street (Plymouth City Code Section 1310.05, Subd. 5). If your street has not been plowed within 9 hours after the end of a 2-inch snowfall, please complete the Report a Snowplowing Issue through myPlymouth. 

Plymouth has 940 cul-de-sacs among its 332 miles of streets. To improve service times, the city has increased the number of contracted plow drivers clearing cul-de-sacs by creating additional zones to ensure timeliness and requiring contractors keep equipment in each cul-de-sac zone until plowing is completed.

Because of their configuration and size, cul-de-sacs are plowed with a special piece of equipment that has a shorter turning radius than standard plows. Snow may not be divided evenly among properties on a cul-de-sac due to locations of fire hydrants, mailboxes, landscaping and driveways.

With the Live Plymouth Plow Map, residents can track the progress made by snowplow crews in near-real time. The map utilizes GPS signals from snow removal vehicles that display which areas of the city have been cleared.

Please note: Users are asked to be patient if encountering bugs, glitches or other functionality issues when viewing the Live Plymouth Plow Map. At this time, the map does not provide information for cul-de-sac snow removal.
