​​ Snow Removal
​Snow Plan Summary

​It is the policy of the municipality of Anchorage to plow, store, or remove snow from publicly owned rights-of-way.
Arterial and collector streets and priority1 sidewalks are to be plowed with first priority. Remaining streets and Priority 2 sidewalks in the Anchorage and Drainage Service Area (ARDSA) will be plowed to full width within 84 hours after the snow storm ends, with driveways gated.
Snow from cul-de-sacs will be placed on adjacent rights-of-way where space is available.
As resources permit, snow will be hauled only from streets with rights-of-way of insufficient width to store snow.
“No-parking” hours for snow removal in the downtown area will be from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Sidewalks in the Central Business District are completed by the Anchorage Downtown Partnership and will be enforced by the Right of Way Enforcement Division.
Ice Control throughout the city will use aggregate pre-wetted with liquid deicer for selected intersections, hills, school bus stops and other high hazard areas. Aggregate will be used in residential areas when road conditions require it.
