Reno Reporter

The City of Reno Utility Services and Maintenance and Operations teams have been monitoring stormwater conveyance systems and reports minimal impact from the earlier rain storms. Crews are operating 24/7 throughout the holiday weekend, and available to remove debris as needed to optimize flow. For the latest information visit weather.gov/Reno.

The current snowfall has decreased the immediate threat of flooding in the area. Given the unpredictable nature of weather patterns in the Truckee Meadows, the City has ensured that its snow-removal operations are ready to deploy instantly and effectively. See a video with helpful information on the City’s snow removal efforts.

The City of Reno street system contains approximately 2,361 lane miles and is divided into 19 routes. Priority is given to arterial and collector streets. Secondary streets are plowed after priority streets as resources become available. See our current list of priority streets by route or view the route maps at Reno.gov/Snow.

City crews remind drivers to reduce their speed on slick or snow-covered roadways, especially when entering intersections and executing sharp turns; keep adequate distance from the vehicle in front of you; and be sure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and equipped with proper tires or snow chains. Road conditions can change quickly and black ice may develop overnight. Residents are encouraged to use caution on the road, or avoid travel until conditions improve.

Residents should also remember to clear snow from their sidewalks and driveways to help prevent injuries.

The City wishes everyone a safe and happy New Year’s Eve.
