LCMC has divided the roads it is responsible for into four priority groups, which are defined below. Snow plowing will begin on the streets with the highest traffic volume, which serve most residents. During continuous snowfall, trucks may be required to re-plow these roads with the highest traffic volume. When the snowfall accumulation subsides, operations will advance to the streets with lower average daily traffic.

Note: Certain Lake Cushman areas and roads will not be plowed due to access limitations, available space, and/or other considerations. These areas are listed in the Snow Removal Plan.

• Priority One – Emergency, LCMC, and Public Services Routes

The first routes plowed will be a minimal road network essential to emergency service vehicles.

• Priority Two – “Arterial” Routes

The following snow removal priorities will include roads with high traffic volumes and roads necessary to provide minimal connectivity throughout the Lake Cushman community.

• Priority Three – “Collector” Routes

The third priority, snow removal, expands the network of roadway connectivity, connecting more roads to the Priority Two “arterial” routes.

• Priority Four – “Local” Routes

The short dead-end roads and cul-de-sacs are the last priority for snow plowing.

• Unpaved Areas

Unpaved areas throughout the Lake Cushman community will not be plowed.

Each property lessee is responsible for clearing the berm at their driveway approach or arranging to have it removed by a third-party service to ensure the best possible use of Staff time in equitably opening up LCMC roadways for ingress/egress due to snowfall accumulations. The LCMC main office has a list of private companies and individuals offering snow removal services. LCMC does not qualify the sources or accept responsibility for the work performed.

Note: Berms are created during the initial and widening passes. However, the second pass in each direction may be delayed, so residents are encouraged to wait until the entire roadway has been plowed before clearing their driveway approaches. Providing exact times to complete the initial pass or tdenpass is impossible.
