The parks and maintenance teams are responsible for clearing snow on 90+ miles of trails and sidewalks, around 30 acres of parking lots and the entrances of 41 buildings and facilities. Trails are cleared with either a pickup and plow or a tractor and blower depending on the severity of the storm.
The goal is to have routes cleared in 8 hours, however large amounts of snow and high winds can complicate and delay the process. After crews have finished the entire route they will start back at the beginning to clear ridges created by City of Fargo plows and drifting snow.
