With snow coming to Juneau, CBJ Streets & Fleet Maintenance would like to share information about winter snow removal in Juneau.  

CBJ Streets crews clear snow from the streets in order of the following priorities: 

1. Clear access for emergency vehicles, public transit, commercial routes, and high-traffic streets. 

1. Residential areas. 

1. Low-traffic areas, including dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs. 

Snow berms: Operators make every effort to minimize snow accumulation on private property. However, berms and windrows are unavoidable. Crews do not clear snow—including berms—from driveways.  

Sidewalks and driveways: Property owners, landlords, and tenants are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks and driveways. Snow or ice may not be placed on any sidewalk, street, roadway, or parking area per CBJ 72.24.075. 

Garbage cans: Please place garbage cans at least five feet from the edge of the street to prevent them from being damaged during snow removal. 

Heavy snowfall brings challenges to both snow removal crews and property owners alike. CBJ Streets crews appreciate the work that you are doing to keep your home accessible, as well as your understanding of what our crews are able to accomplish. 

For more detailed information about snow removal on CBJ-owned streets, please visit juneau.org/engineering-public-works/streets/winter-maintenance-information.
