Winter officially arrives Dec. 21 and the City of Kirkland encourages its residents and businesses to prepare for this year’s weather season. In the event of snow requiring street maintenance, the city will give first priority for snow plowing on roads that are near Evergreen Hospital and lead to and from I-405, transit routes, schools and fire stations. Second priority will be given to arterials that have above normal traffic use. Steep and hilly public roadways that are difficult to maintain will be closed. To view the Snow Plow Priority Routes map, go to www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/emergency. To report hazardous road conditions, flooding or other dangers in the public-right-of-way, call the Public Works Maintenance Center at 425-587-3900 (24-hours).
