The town of Frisco — which received more than 80 inches of snow since early last month — is catching up with cleaning up.
The Summit County town, at an elevation of 9,097 feet, will close several alleys and one road over the next six days as part of the effort. And eight-hour shifts by snow-removal workers will be extended by two hours, according to a news release. At least four dump trucks and two loaders will run continuously for 20 hours daily, from 4 a.m. to midnight, as part of the massive snow-moving effort starting Wednesday.
The alley and road closures will take place through March 11. Extended shifts kicked off Monday and will continue through the month as workers move tons of snow to “effectively widen streets, alleys and recreation pathways” and “to re-establish better sight lines at intersections.”
The Herculean effort is also moving massive amounts of snow from short-term storage to long-term storage areas.
A parking lot at the corner of Summit Boulevard and Marina Road, which parks more vehicles during summer months, will be used for additional snow storage. Efforts will be made to keep part of the area open for parking.
All snow removal operations and related closures will be posted several days in advance. No vehicular traffic or parking will be allowed during operations and vehicles in violation will be towed.
