During the winter months, the City's Street and Fleet Division turns its attention to snow plowing to keep Geneva's roadways safe for motorists. Below is a summary of the service that the City provides.

Snow Routes

When road conditions become hazardous, streets that are posted as "Snow Routes" are cleared of snow and ice first. These routes are typically streets with a high traffic volume and higher speed limits. Parking on all snow routes is prohibited when there is a snowfall of 2 inches or more.

The City plows State Street (Route 38), Route 25, and Route 31 per an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Kane County is responsible for snow removal on Kirk Road, Fabyan Parkway, Randall Road, Keslinger Road, Peck Road, and the southwest section of Kaneville Road.

Secondary Streets

Once snow routes have been cleared, plow operators will then remove snow and ice from the secondary streets including alleys, cul-de-sacs and dead ends. Parking is prohibited on secondary streets when there is a snowfall of 3 inches or more.

During a major snowstorm, secondary streets will receive one pass in each direction to provide access for residents and emergency vehicles. This phase will continue until the snowfall has ended at which time all streets, cul-de-sacs, alleys and dead ends will be plowed of snow curb-to-curb.

Light Snowfall

When the amount of snowfall is less than 1 inch, and plowing operations are not necessary, salt will be lightly applied only to snow routes, schools, hills, curves, and intersections that have stop signs.
