The Parks & Recreation Board has approved removing snow from paved trails that serve the business district and from paved trails that are needed for safety reasons. These trail sections are prioritized based on current, available staff and equipment. Signage for the public has been placed on trails where snow and ice will not be removed. The signs read: This trail is closed during the winter season. Snow and ice will not be removed.
Trails to have snow removed from them are based on a priority level. Priority is given to city buildings and parks first and then to trails. Recreation Trails fall into level 12. Sections are listed as follows:
