Snow Removal
Holiday Closures
All City of Boulder administrative facilities and Age Well Centers will be closed Thursday, July 4, for the Independence Day holiday. Some facilities and services will remain open.
Planning for snow and ice removal begins well before winter. Each year, equipment is prepared and crews are trained. Boulder strives to provide timely information and support safety for all modes of travel during snow events.
Answer: City snow crews maintain emergency routes, primary and secondary streets, on-street bike lanes, streets with steep slopes, 100% of multi-use paths and designated bus stops. Access to hospitals, schools, transit and critical infrastructure is prioritized.
Answer: Accumulations of snow and ice after a snowfall or snowdrift must be removed as promptly as possible and no later than 24 hours after snow stops falling. Sidewalks must be cleared of snow and ice as needed after the first shoveling.
Answer: Senior citizens and physically disabled persons who are unable to clear snow from their sidewalks may receive assistance through the Cultivate SnowBusters Program. Call 303-442-1933 for more details and enrollment information.
