And if we get a lot of snow…
You can follow the snow clean up progress by using the snow plow tracker. The City of Cleveland launched the site in 2022. The city is responsible for clearing main, secondary and residential streets. Home and business owners are responsible for clearing snow, sleet and ice from sidewalks. The Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Turnpike Commission handle the interstates.
