Wonderful job with the exception of ice control, especially in front of "ganged" mailboxes. Treacherous! But I understand what an incredibly difficult winter this was. The City of Plymouth trucks were more visible than usual at Cimarron Ponds and the city subcontractor, GroundsCare did an amazing job. (They also plow our driveways via a contract with our HOA and it's a perfect partnership.)

Plymouth is doing a great job with the snow removal process! The only item of concern I have is this past season with all the late heavy snowfalls, I experienced high snow banks that made it difficult to see oncoming traffic when trying to turn out onto the intersecting street. I’d appreciate if snow back heights are monitored on major Plymouth roads for traffic trying to merge on from side streets.

Overall good job. I live on the outside of a curve - would like to see plow get closer to the curb. Thanks.

In the last 2 to 3 years, it gets worse every year, every snow being an even poorer job than the one before it. We had a bobcat driver openly peeing in our cul-de-sac. This of course after he took out several mailboxes.

The contractor plowing my cul de sac did an excellent job plowing and stacking snow with their skid steer loader. Please DO NOT change that aspect of our snow removal. Thanks.

City did good job last year even we had several severe snow storms. But I would like to clean the streets if the snow is above 1 1/2 inch

Need to treat ice. It is not all about snow; it is about the danger that I’ve brings. It must be treated to keep both people and cars safe. Also, go back to the original snow plowing company. The current company is awful! Mailboxes are plowed down (costly to fix) or you can’t even get to your mailbox, extra snow is plowed back into your driveway in cul-de-sacs, and there seems to be a complete lack of pride in their job. Don’t care about doing a good job just want the money. If you consider the total cost of this contract, adding in mailbox repairs, labor related to all of the poor plowing and mailbox issues, my guess is this plowing company exceeds the cost of the original company and you have dissatisfied Plymouth residents. Seems like an easy decision to me. Go back to what worked.

Is it possible that the City could change the direction of the route once in a while? We always get the second pass of street plowing so we always seem to end up with a much larger pile of snow at the end of our driveway. It would be nice if every once in a while the route could change direction. Also--the plows do not get as close to the mailbox as would be desired (I guess when they do--sometimes the mailboxes go down). It is a lot of work to try to shovel out the snow packed around the mailboxes. Thanks for the great job the city and the snowplowers do!! Other than that we are very satisfied.

Consider treating the streets. During the Christmas season we got that awful wet, then ice then snow. I just assumed the conditions were insurmountable when the streets were treacherous after that. You could not safely get down Vicksburg. Still- we drove to downtown Minneapolis. Not a speck of snow or ice on the streets there- even at St. Anthony Main, which is a cobblestone street. That was telling to me that Plymouth just wasn't doing the primary job of keeping streets safe. Sometimes you have to spend the money. I don't care if my taxes remain flat if the trade-off is dangerous streets.

Contractors in pickup trucks are not able to do a satisfactory job in my cut de sac (50th PL N off Balsam). Main issues are incomplete snow removal across the cul de sac, not coming closer than 6 feet to the curb at the top of the cul de sac where the fire hydrant is, and backing onto my driveway creating hard packed snow that is difficult to remove. Please change us over to city staff on 50th PL / Balsam if that is feasible. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

We live at the end of a cul de sac. Snow plowing this winter was much faster than in our previous 15 years here in Plymouth. I appreciate that. Thank you. One thing I would really watch is the quality of the small pick up truck plows. They are very tough on our curbing. We paid about $15k per house for those new curbs/gutters/drains about 10 years ago, and the plows really beat them up. Please ask them to be a bit more cautious. On the whole, plowing this winter was great. You have a lot of mileage to clear, including all of our cul de sacs, and you have done a super job. Thanks for making it easier for us to get out and about during our long winters!

You guys do a great job, mother nature is a beast.

Generally, I thought Plymouth did a fantastic job. My only suggestion is to make sure the plows get out as quickly as possible when it's snowing. Thanks for your work.

Snow removal is being handled appropriately. Good job.

The snow removal in our neighborhood is not good. The plows do not do a good job of removing the snow down to the pavement and it results in icy roads all winter.

Our subdivision was not plowed soon enough. Trenches were formed making it hard to maneuver. Our culdesac was plowed after the main streets in our subdivision and by a contractor. While it was a decent job, the circle part of the culdesac was not always cleared well

Would like to see a better job done of clearing the intersection of Yucca Lane and Co Rd 47. There is a little incline and cars struggle getting onto 47 from Yucca lane.

During the ice storm early in the season our neighborhood was a dangerous skating rink. It seemed to take forever for the streets to be treated, and several neighbors called the public works department to complain. Even school buses were sliding into mail boxes. It takes too long for the cul-de-sacs to get plowed. The school buses, delivery trucks, and metro mobility vehicles use the cul-de-sacs constantly as turn around areas, and need them cleared. The contractors did a nice job clearing snow in the cul-de-sacs.

The city does a good job here—Minnesotans on cul de sacs should be able to comprehend that their “bulbs” are not a top plowing priority.

In previous years, those who plowed the bulb of our cul de sac did a good job at distributing the snow throughout each yard. This year, all the snow was plowed into my yard, which made it more difficult to keep my driveway and fire hydrant cleared. Additionally, there were several storms where our bulb was not plowed as promptly as it has been in previous years. We have lived in our current house for 4 years, and this is the first year we are not happy with the way our bulb has been plowed.

Whomever plows the cul-de-sac, they should plow it like they live there and do a great job. This means not piling in front of hydrant and get snow removed to the curb, not "close enough"

Snow getting piled up in front of driveway when the city snow removal does the job. It is very hard to clean for us using a small snow blower after city snow removal does this mess. I am very much disappointed in doing double cleaning of our driveway.

we are the last part of the street to get plowed...if at all. Drivers always forget to go all the way down 48th Ave North...they don't seem to remember there are houses at the end of the cul de sac! Not happy with the service we get - been like this for years. Poor job city of Plymouth!

The loader with a plow does not clean the streets as well. The truck with the additional under body blade does a better job of removing the snow.

Not at this time, My association plows our finger street/driveways as of right now. I think City of Plymouth did an adequate job considering the rough winter we had this year.

There was an independent contractor that plowed in a white pickup- I believe it said SW. He sis an awesome job!

Our contractor didn’t do a good job on our culdesac on 40th PL N, frequently leaving snow in front of the mailbox, including piles 15 feet from the curb. I’d like to see at least more supervision of contractors.

Main roads in Plymouth are cleared well and cleared quickly. We live deeper into our neighborhood (Seven Greens) and as we get closer to our house the plowing job gets worse and worse. It seems the entrance into the neighborhood and as you initially drive in is plowed more effectively than the roundabout near our house and the street in the back of the neighborhood. Makes no sense why a thorough job can't be done for the entire neighborhood.

When our cul-de-sac is plowed, they do a nice job but it seems like most often the cul-de-sac is one of the last areas to be plowed which can make getting out of the neighborhood difficult/dangerous.

Get new snow plow contractors. Those used last year were late. Used underpowered equipment and did clear the streets very effectively. They seemed like a company totally unprepared for fulfilling the job they took on. They did make Plymouth look good.

Glad for the change to come. It was a tough winter this year so all in all, city did a good job

I used to live in the City of Minneapolis and in large snow storms, we did not get our street plowed for over a day. Plymouth does a great job.

We live right next door to the railroad tracks on Larch. They do a TERRIBLE job in front of our house. It looks like the driver's have to raise the side arm when they go through the area with the yellow ballards. The problem is they keep the truck moving so the arm doesn't get back down until they are most of the way past our property. My husband has been outside twice when they have gone by. I few pages back YOUR info said you plow curb to curb. We are lucky if you get within 3 feet of our mailbox. Then we get the letters from the post office saying they can't deliver our mail. I have called AND sent pictures to show them the crappy job that gets done. I was told they would take care of it. They did, but only the next time. One time and one time ONLY we were plowed out like it was suppose to be. It never used to be this way, but the last couple of years have been terrible. Doesn't seem to do one bit of good to call. (Excuse me, 1 time it did) Please fix this!!!!!

Delivery/mail trucks were stuck multiple times. Otherwise I think Plymouth does a good job.

Would have been nice to have a decent plowing job without having to complain first.

A year ago, our decorative mailbox was destroyed by the snow plows. This year our neighbors mailbox was destroyed. They do a very nice job except for the mailbox destruction.

Apparently the City decided that the east side of Larch Lane could wait to have snow removed, so every storm ours was removed a couple hours after the west side. I know someone’s got to be second, but it meant we were driving through heavy snow on our street. That being said, the drivers always do an outstanding job, and I truly appreciate the sacrifices they make to clear our streets.

Some contractors - particularly those with pickup trucks - are quite bad at plowing cul. de sacs. Some are terrible. Our satisfaction improved greatly when a “bobcat” plowed ours. One other comment: The Plymouth full-size plow drivers are real pros. I couldn’t be more impressed with the job they do. Kudos!

I live in Chelsea Mews where ProScape did an exemplary job of clearing snow ! The entrance into Chelsea Woods on 18th from Vicksburg is always snowy/icy and dangerous due to traction problems and the speed of cars on Vicksburg.
