Snow Operations in Effect

City snow crews continue to plow all streets in Overland Park.

We ask that residents wait for crews to complete all routes before filing requests for snow removal through OPCares. If your street has not been plowed yet, please know that we are still working to plow all City streets.

Please make sure to move vehicles off residential streets if you can! This will help crews remove more snow to the curb and get to all neighborhoods more quickly.
