The LDDA board of directors determined that the LDDA would begin by offering snow removal services throughout the downtown core, specifically along Main Street and Alamo Avenue. The pilot program set a 0” tolerance, meaning that at the first sign of precipitation, crews would be on site to administer services throughout the storm.
Beginning in October 2023, LDDA/CSG provided nine (9) snow removal services to date throughout the downtown core. A standard operating procedure was developed for each snow removal service and emails were sent directly to property owners and businesses within the snow removal boundaries to alert them of upcoming services.
Overall, the program has been well received by retailers and property owners. This is gauged by positive feedback solicited through email, phone calls and in store visits. Due to the success of the pilot program, the LDDA will continue its snow removal service and begin including cross streets within the snow removal area.
