Snowplowing 
When will my street be plowed?
Wyoming has approximately 250 miles or 600 lane-miles of streets. The most efficient way to manage snow and ice removal on these streets is to prioritize the streets according to their use.
First Priority: These are the major streets which carry the most traffic and have the highest speed limits. They are plowed and salted frequently so as to keep them as snow and ice free as possible.
Second Priority: These are the collector streets which have lower traffic volumes and lower speed limits. They are dispersed throughout residential neighborhoods such that everyone is within a reasonable distance from either a first or second priority street. These streets are plowed and spot-salted regularly but not as often as the major streets.
Third Priority: These are the remaining residential streets and culs-de-sac. They are plowed when the snow depth reached four inches, either from a storm event or snow accumulation. Our goal is to complete the plowing of all streets within 24-hours of a four-inch or greater storm.
Odd-Even Winter Parking Restrictions
Help us keep our streets clear of snow this winter and avoid parking tickets by following the odd-even parking ordinance! The ordinance – in effect Dec. 1 through March 31 – requires people to alternate the side of the street they park on between 12 a.m. and 7 p.m. That’s so plows can keep both sides of the street clear of snow. It helps to keep roadways clear and accessible for you, snowplows, and emergency vehicles during the winter.
Odd-Even Parking at a Glance
- Helpful Tip: Between 7 p.m. and 12 a.m., make sure to move your vehicle to the side of the road matching the next days date.
- Dates and Times: No parking on alternating sides of the street from midnight to 7 p.m., December 1 until March 31.
- Snow or No Snow: This ordinance is enforceable even when there is not snow.
- Odd Dates: On odd dates, park on the side of the street with odd addresses – those that end with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.
- Even Dates: On even dates, park on the side of the street with even addresses – those that end with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
- Cul-De-Sacs: In a cul-de-sac, you may only park on the street on even-numbered calendar days.
- No Parking Signs: Regardless of odd-even status, parking is never permitted in designated "No Parking" zones.
Report Violations of Odd-Even Parking
Our Department of Public Safety works hard to address all calls for service as soon as possible. Reports of odd-even parking violations are important but they can often wait to be enforced when emergency calls are a priority. By completing the Report an Odd-Even Parking Complaint Form, you help us manage the enforcement of odd-even parking while allowing us to prioritize emergency calls. As officers become available, we’ll make every effort to follow up with the report during the times and days you have listed. This helps us manage our workflow and address this safety violation.
Sidewalk Plowing
Sidewalks are plowed by a contractor at night after there are two or more inches of new snow accumulation. This is intended to assist property owners in keeping their sidewalk passable by removing new accumulations down to any existing hard packed snow. Please keep the sidewalk free of obstructions such as garbage cans and parked vehicles.
Driveway Approaches
We are equally sorry for the extra work required to clear snow off the end of driveways. Plowing snow to the curb or edge of the street is the most effective way to keep the streets passable in the winter and to minimize street flooding when the snow melts. Please do not place snow into the street, whether by shoveling, snow blowing, or snow plowing, as this can make it more difficult for vehicles using the street. If you have a private driveway plower, please make sure that they also do not plow snow into the street or onto others' property. Please call us with private snow plowing concerns or problems.
Damage to Mailbox or Lawn
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for heavy snow coming off the snow plow blades to damage mailboxes - especially when the snow banks get higher. We are sorry for the inconvenience this causes. Please let us know right away if your mailbox has been damaged. We will do our best to repair and/or replace your damaged mailbox as quickly as possible.
If you have a standard aluminum box, we can replace it for you. If you have a plastic or decorative box, we can discuss different replacement options with you.
This is also true for lawn damage caused by the street or sidewalk plows. Please let us know, and we will repair the damage in the spring.
