How does the Town handle plowing and ice control product? To ensure the roads are in safe winter driving condition and maintain fiscal responsibility the Town of Big Lake’s policy is to normally begin snow/ice control operations, when a snow event results in at least two inches (2”) of snow accumulation and/or the snow has stopped falling. The consideration of cost, environmental impact and severe icy conditions that seriously affect travel are factors used when deciding if/when and to what extent, ice control products are applied to Town roads. Additionally, Minnesota statute § 160.215 affects the use of ice control products the Town can apply.
The Town has a Road Committee that is constantly monitoring the winter driving conditions of our roads, and will dispatch units to plow and/or deliver ice control product as warranted.
REMINDER: Drivers need to use winter driving skills and speeds, as that is the first-line of defense with the winter weather and road conditions.
