The City of Crookston received a heavy, wet snowfall on Wednesday. Due to the weight and volume of this snowfall, plowing operations are progressing more slowly than usual.
Public Works crews are continuing to work throughout the evening to clear all streets and alleyways. In a few areas, operations were temporarily delayed due to equipment breakdowns and mechanical issues; however, those locations will be revisited and fully cleared as soon as possible.
Residents are strongly encouraged to park vehicles off the street whenever possible. This allows the large equipment to safely and effectively clear and widen roadways without obstruction. Fully clearing the roadway is essential to reducing pooling water and ensuring proper drainage to storm catch basins.
Crews will return tomorrow to widen streets and break down larger snow piles to improve visibility and overall road conditions.
The City of Crookston appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to keep Crookston streets safe and passable.
