Update on City Street Conditions<\/strong>
\n
\n(February 2, 2019) – Extreme cold temperatures created icy side streets, and with today’s snowfall, the City of Fort Wayne Street Department is advising residents to use caution when traveling.
\nFor the past three days, the Street Department has been in neighborhoods putting hot sand down. The sand helps with traction, but the product is not able to melt ice when temperatures are in the double-digit negative numbers that we had this week.
\nThe overnight snowfall has covered the ice in neighborhoods and is helping with traction because the ice is not exposed. Plowing on the neighborhood streets would expose the ice and so crews are not going to plow neighborhood streets today.
\nCurrent street conditions in Fort Wayne are as follows.<\/p>\n
