The City of Lake Forest Park public works crews are out around-the-clock sanding and clearing roads The City public works crews have prepared equipment such as plows and sanders to help keep streets safe. In any snow and ice event, crews will focus on primary routes first, including arterials, bus routes and designated emergency routes. Once the primary routes are open, attention will turn to secondary and residential streets. Crews are currently working around the clock as long as hazardous street conditions exist. As a reminder, when following a snowplow or sander allow at least 100 feet following distance.
