Winter Operations Update for March 15, 12 p.m.

A wintry mix of precipitation is predicted in the Naperville area starting around noon today and continuing into this evening, with road conditions expected to be slushy and slippery at times. Public Works crews are fully staffed and prepared to respond to conditions as they develop.

Please use extra caution when traveling this afternoon and during this evening’s commute. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination, increase your driving distance, reduce your speed, and use care when walking on sidewalks, in parking lots, and at the train stations.

Winter Operations Update for Feb. 24, 7:30 p.m.

Due to dropping temperatures, water on area roadways due to snowmelt from the past few days may turn to ice overnight and cause hazardous travel conditions tonight and tomorrow morning. City staff is prepared to treat roadways as needed overnight and tomorrow morning based on conditions that develop. Please use extra caution when traveling this evening and during tomorrow morning’s commute. Increase your driving distance, reduce your speed, and use care when walking on sidewalks, in parking lots, and at the train stations.

Existing snow will continue to melt due to mild daytime temperatures. Please continue to make sure storm drains are clear to help melting snow drain properly and minimize ponding water. Report large areas of ponding water (defined as standing water over the entire width of a street or an area more than three vehicles long) online or by calling City dispatch at (630) 420-6187.

Winter Operations Update for Feb. 21, 2 p.m.

Snow is expected in the Naperville area starting later today until around midnight tonight, with about 1 to 3 inches of accumulation anticipated. The City’s full Public Works fleet is staffed and prepared to treat roadways as needed and until operations are completed based on conditions that develop.

Please use caution while driving this evening and during Monday morning’s commute, as roads may be slick in some places. Give yourself extra time to reach your destination, reduce your speed, and increase following distance between your vehicle and others, including snow plows. Be careful walking on sidewalks, train station platforms, and in parking lots, which all may be slippery. Additionally, please do not park on City streets so that plows have enough room to efficiently treat roadways.

If your mailbox is damaged during this snow event, please report it to the City by filling out a Mailbox Damage Report form. More information on this process can be found at www.naperville.il.us/mailboxes.

Temperatures are expected to rise significantly over the next week; please make sure storm drains are clear to help melting snow drain properly and minimize ponding water.
