Here's Which Westlake Streets Will Get Plowed First

WESTLAKE, OH — As the first major snowstorm of the season hits Westlake, the city reminded residents of the order streets are plowed in.

Service Department snowplow trucks are barred from plowing driveways or towing private vehicles. Instead, they must only plow city streets.

The Service Department said streets will be plowed in the following order:

• Main streets
• Secondary streets
• Side streets and developments

"Stay back at least 50 feet when following the snow plow or salt truck. Drivers cannot see a vehicle following closely behind them. If you can’t see their mirrors, they can’t see you!" the city said on its website.

Additionally, if Westlake resident experience a power outage, they should contact FirstEnergy, not the city's Service Department. Outages can be reported online and by texting 544487 (send the word "OUT" to report an outage).
