除雪

有效11/17/14
 
The following protocol is intended to clarify campus snow removal procedures both during and after winter storms. The priority during winter storms is always on the safety of the campus community, including those conducting snow removal operations. Campus roadways, parking lot travel lanes and walkways are cleared and monitored throughout storm events in an effort to provide the safest vehicular and pedestrian travel paths possible given the 条件 of each storm.

Each winter storm differs in intensity, accumulation, accumulation rate (inches of precipitation per hour), timing, and duration. Winter storms sometimes occur in succession to each other leaving little time between events to fully clear accumulation. 这些 variations impact the manner in which snow removal is conducted and must be taken into consideration when winter storms occur.
 
 
During Storm Events
 

1. During storm events, The 物理设施 will 开始 snow removal as early as possible. The supervisor may delay snow removal if staff safety is compromised by the weather 条件
2. The primary focus is snow removal from campus roadways, parking lot travel lanes and 校园人行道. 物理设施/Campus Safety are not responsible for shoveling out individual vehicles or parking spaces.
3. Snow is plowed to predetermined areas in an effort to minimize the impact snow storage will have on the availability of campus parking and pedestrian travel.
