City trucks and employees plow all cul-de-sacs north of Interstate 435. Approximately 30 private contractors hired by the city plow all cul-de-sacs south of I-435.

There are about 1,700 cul-de-sacs in the city.

Cul-de-sacs are plowed only if there is more than two inches of snow on the street. City staff may spread de-icing materials in cul-de-sacs if there is less than two inches of snow and the weather conditions are right.

Where large storm events cause the build up of snow and ice to create an impassable condition, snow crews will completely plow the cul-de-sac center once all the priority streets have been completed.
