The City of Evans maintains approximately 55 miles of streets, of which about 4.5 miles are unpaved. The Street Division's mission is to operate and maintain a safe and efficient street system for the citizens and visitors to the City by adequate planning, response to citizen communications and the efficient use of available resources. This division of Public Works is charged with the maintenance of the street system and with the general construction of projects throughout the City. The division operates out of the Municipal Operations Center located at 1958 40th Street.


Snow Removal
[back to top]

With a population nearing 20,000 and over 55 miles of streets, the City has taken a more serious approach to the problems associated with snow and ice control.

Our fleet of snow fighting equipment is readied as soon as snow is forecast. Sanders spread a mixture of sand and salt. Plows move snow when snow depth and estimated accumulation indicate the need to plow. When snow plowing is necessary, it is done on a priority basis. Major arterials are plowed first then minor arterials are plowed as a second priority. With over 55 miles of streets to maintain it is not possible to plow all of the streets. Residential streets are sanded and will be plowed only in emergency situations.

Residents are required by ordinance to clear sidewalks (including those crossing alleys and driveways) within 24 hours after each snowfall. Please pile the snow in your yard, not in the street. If your sidewalk is icy, you may correct the hazard by applying sand, snow de-icer, or cat litter. When residents fail to clear their sidewalks, the results can be a treacherous ice patch. We need your help in protecting pedestrians from possible injury.

If you wish to report a hazardous sidewalk, please call the Police Department at 339-2441.
