From KGW.com, "Portland gets plows & de-icers ready for winter"
.... The City is responsible for about 3,500 miles of streets and Mayor Sam Adams said 50 trucks were earmarked for clearing snow, if necessary. He added that city crews will be ready to go at a moment’s notice and de-icers will also be used on local streets.
The City and TriMet have worked together to take lessons from last year’s arctic blast and make sure this year goes even smoother.
“We went over all the TriMet routes, we double-checked, prioritized and we were coordinated in the same way,” Mayor Adams said. “We also made sure that we on an operational level, we increased our communications.”
The mayor also wanted to send out a message to the public – that the best thing residents can do to prepare for the winter is to make sure they have a snow shovel. He added that anyone who lives on a hill should make sure they have tire chains.
