I received this update from the City of Peoria this afternoon:
Crews have worked throughout the day to clear residential streets. They are also focusing on the alley’s, which are fifty percent complete. City streets are still snow packed and ice covered. Drivers are encouraged to drive with caution because roads are slippery. With the cold temperatures expected overnight, road salt is not effective so please drive carefully.
Orange Prairie Road, off of Allen Road, has drifted shut. Crews will open this road overnight.
The Snow Route Parking Ban is still in effect and will remain in effect at least until tomorrow morning.
How long do you think the City will try to open “Orange Prairie Road, off of Allen Road” before they realize those roads don’t actually cross?
Update: Answer to my last question is about 13 minutes. Just got this update: “Orange Prairie Road, off of War Memorial Drive, has drifted shut. Crews will open this road overnight.”
From District 150:
For the safety of our students, all district schools will be closed on Friday, February 4, 2011. All events and activities are cancelled for Friday. This closure will guarantee that school buses will be able to safely transport students on Monday. Please check the district website www.psd150.org for further information.
All 12 month employees are to report to work as scheduled on Friday. If 12 month employees have personal safety concerns due to weather or road conditions, please plan to use a vacation day.
Thank you for your cooperation.
