Snow and Ice Removal Schedule

City of Rogers Street Department Snow and Ice Removal Schedule

The City of Rogers Street Department provides 24-hour snow and ice removal services for approximately 400 miles of roadways. The Street Department works with first responders to prioritize calls and dispatch crews to hazardous locations.

Priority is given to roads that permit emergency vehicular traffic through the city. Specifically, areas around Mercy Medical Center, the city’s fire stations, and the police department are the first areas to be addressed. After access to and from health and safety institutions are addressed, the Street Department’s second priority focuses on major arterial roadways that traverse throughout the city. Those roadways include:

  • New Hope Road
  • Dixieland Road
  • Poplar Street
  • First Street
  • Walnut Street (In Partnership with ArDOT)

Other trouble spots that frequently create hazardous conditions are then addressed. Those usually include Pleasant Ridge Road and the southern entrance to Brush Creek. Once these roadways are cleared, the Street Department will begin working on the remainder of the city streets.

Vehicles on the road, whether traveling or parked, slow the snow removal effort and leave untreated areas scattered throughout the routes. We request when possible, vehicles be parked in driveways during winter weather events in order to allow the street department to provide the most efficient service possible. If you are driving, to prevent possible damage to your vehicle, stay clear of plowing apparatus and sand trucks. Additionally, the Street Department is not able to clear driveways or private roads.

The Street Department has dozens of employees that work around the clock to remove snow and ice.  Sand, magnesium chloride (effective from 32° F to 18° F), and salt with beet juice (effective from 32° F to -6° F) are used as de-icing agents on the roadways.
