Snow Removal

The City performs snow removal anytime we receive more than 2 inches of snowfall and the surface temperatures are forecast to remain below freezing for an extended period.  In instances where ice or significant snowfall is imminent, crews will treat streets with a salt/sand mix with interval plowing.  First priority is always given to major streets, schools and emergency response facilities.  Snow removal on K-68 is the responsibility of KDOT, while Metcalf remains the responsibility of Miami County. Sidewalk clearing is the responsibility of each private property owner and is especially appreciated along school walking routes. Unfortunately city crews will not be able to clear residential cul-de-sacs if vehicles are parked within the required turning radius.

The severity of the 2009-2010 winter storms have resulted in eligibility of FEMA assistance for many cities and counties located within the state of Kansas. The City of Louisburg is in the process of submitting for federal recovery assistance.
