City of Crookston Public Works crews worked through the night to continue snow removal efforts in the downtown area. While progress was made, they were unable to complete all downtown snow removal during this operation.
A few factors impacted our ability to finish:
- Some vehicles remained parked downtown, requiring crews to work around them and slowing removal efforts.
- Mechanical issues occurred when one of our snow blowers experienced a breakdown.
- Crews were short-staffed during overnight operations.
As a result, some snow piles remain and portions of side streets were not fully addressed. Street crews are planning to return early next week to finish downtown snow removal, weather permitting.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation of downtown residents and business owners as crews continue working to improve conditions.
