Mentor experienced its first blast of winter this past Thanksgiving holiday weekend with parts of the city receiving upwards of 20” of snow over the past several days. Public Works crews are doing their best to keep up with the snowfall.
City of Mentor forces are tasked with keeping over 500 lane miles of roadway passable during snow events. Main roads (such as Center Street, Mentor Avenue and Heisley Road), secondary routes (such as Adkins, North Palmerston and Garden Lane), side streets, and cul-de-sacs, are attended to generally in that order. The city does not plow private drives.
Snow removal on SR-2 and I-90, as well as associated entrance/exit ramps, is managed by Lake County and the Ohio Department of Transportation respectively.
Please provide ample room for plows to operate. Thanks to everyone for their patience and thanks to our crews for the round-the-clock work on keeping up with Mother Nature’s holiday gift.
