Additional Snow Removal Policy:

Private streets are maintained by applicable property owners.
City of Overland Park does not plow sidewalks or driveways unless part of city-owned property.
Driveways may be blocked with plowed snow during snow removal operations. We attempt to minimize this as much as possible; however, it is unavoidable. The city will not clear snow from driveway approaches; it is the responsibility of the property owners to clear their own driveways.
Vehicles on roadways may be towed if they impede normal snow removal operations. Residents are reminded to remove portable basketball goals during inclement weather.
City equipment will not be used to conduct privately-owned vehicle recovery operations unless it is a life or death situation.
City does not have designated emergency snow routes.
Medical emergencies are referred to 911 for validation.
