Snow Removal Policy

The City of Three Forks is pleased to announce will begin snow plowing of an “emergency services and high traffic route”.

Snow plowing operations will commence when the accumulation of snow on streets reaches three (3) inches, or as weather conditions warrant.  All City streets will be plowed according to a master plan which assigns first priority to essential safety and community services.  Our goal is to plow all residential streets in Three Forks as quickly as our small, but dedicated staff will allow.

Below is the map highlighting priority routes (in red) and shared responsibilities with the Montana Department of Transportation (in blue).

All other City streets will be plowed after the priority access streets.

While we are excited to be able to provide this service, we need your help to make this happen. Please:

·         move vehicles off of the street when there is three inches or more.  Vehicles left of the street may end up getting plowed in.

·         try to pile snow on lawns, boulevards, or in the parking area as much as possible.  It does not make sense for the City to plow streets if snow gets pushed to the traffic area.  This is in violation of Ordinance 8-4-1 Obstructing Streets.

Be aware that even plowed streets can be slick so please drive slowly and heed the 15mph speed limit.

Thank you in advance for your help in making our streets safer and more passable for everyone!  Have a great winter!

If there are any questions concerning this, please contact City Hall at 406-285-3431.
