>>> Winter Storm Warning For Chicago Area: 6 To 10 Inches Of Snow Expected

Palos Park

The Palos Park Public Works Department's primary objective during winter is to keep approximately 29 miles of roads free from snow and ice through plowing and salting operations. The public works crew needs four to five hours to plow the entire village under normal plowing conditions. The first priority of salting is to apply calcium chloride or salt to hills, turns, and intersections as conditions warrant.

Once the snow has stopped falling and during the last plow through the area, salt is applied to streets where required. During icing or freezing rain conditions, the salting of village streets is a priority.
