For many of us, the fresh sight of snow brings winter joy and outdoor fun. After several cold weeks of being cooped up inside, residents take advantage of the snow for recreational activities, such as sledding, snowball fights, and hiking.

For the City of Fort Wayne’s Street Department, snow means tough plowing work and long hours. Nevertheless, it’s important work that is provided to residents.

Before, during, and after snowfall events, the City of Fort Wayne’s Street Department is committed to keeping all roads safe and clear within the city limits. While each snowfall is different, the street department uses years of experience and reliable forecasting to plan for the safest and most effective snowplow operation.
