MAP: Redmond Snow Removal Routes

The city does not plow residential roads until main arterials are passable.

Wondering when your street will be plowed?

The City of Redmond has a map (attached to this story) that shows which roadways get cleared first and which ones are less of a priority. According to the city's website, residential streets are plowed or sanded only after the main arterials are cleared and passable.

When it comes to main roadways, crews first clear roadways near hospitals and schools, followed by arterials leading in and out of Redmond, followed by the main roadways that are located on hills, followed by all other arterials.
