Snow Removal
New Technology Makes SnowGo Even Better
You may have noticed cameras on Avery Road over S.R. 33, Emerald Parkway, Glacier Ridge and Hyland Croy Road intersection. They are Vue Robotics weather camera stations.
This new technology provides our SnowGo warriors a panoramic view of streets and gives information on:
- Air Temperature
- Surface Temperature
- Humidity
- Dew Point
- Air Pressure and Quality
- Heat Index
- Wind Speed and Direction
These weather stations bring a new level to our ice and snow treatment.
Roadway temperatures are always the most critical aspect of snow events. The roadway could be below freezing while the air temperature is just above 32 degrees or vice versa. These weather stations help the City make more informed decisions on combatting the elements.
We can also determine what parts of Dublin will be impacted first by a specific snow event and when based on wind speed and direction. The weather map with this technology provides a measurement tool to estimate how far away an incoming storm is.
We can even utilize these stations for year-round monitoring. Data on humidity, dew point, heat index, air pressure, and quality play a role. With these, our Public Service division can make more informed decisions on weather that will impact community events, construction projects and more.

Weather Outlets
The City has a curb-to-curb snow removal policy. Dangerous hills, curves, and bridges are monitored and treated as necessary throughout an event. All public streets within Dublin receive snow removal service according to the following priorities that have been established based on traffic volumes and speeds:
Priority 1
Major arteries are plowed first. These streets will continue to receive treatment as long as weather conditions continue. Blowing snow and freezing roads once snow has thawed can require continued treatment.
Priority 2
Main roads through subdivisions, streets connecting two or more priority 1 streets. These streets will be plowed and salted once priority 1 streets have received treatment.
Priority 3
Residential streets, courts, cul-de-sacs and alleys will be serviced once priority 1 and priority 2 streets are cleared.
Recreation Paths
Paths that have been determined high-traffic routes for schools are cleared first, followed by paths used for recreational use.
Please be aware that multiple passes may need to be made to fully service a roadway curb-to- curb.
Not treated by City of Dublin
Private residential and commercial streets and sidewalks as well as streets in other jurisdictions.
Residents can assist the snow plowing process in several ways:
- Do not shovel or plow snow into City streets.
- Do not shovel or plow snow around fire hydrants or mailboxes.
- Keep distance from the snow plows.
- Keep children away from snow plows
- Remove parked cars from the street.
- Do not attempt to pass a snow plow.
Residents are required to keep their sidewalks, curbs and gutters in repair and free of snow, ice, debris and obstructions. Depositing snow or ice on any public sidewalk, street, bike path, road or highway is not permitted.
When shoveling a driveway, place as much snow as possible from the driveway apron on the “downstream” side (left side of apron as you are standing at the street looking up the driveway). This reduces the amount of snow that the plow will catch and push back into the driveway apron as it passes.

Snow Emergency
In accordance with Ohio law, the City of Dublin recognizes the following snow emergency classifications as issued by Franklin, Delaware and Union counties:
- Level 1 – Conditions are hazardous, motorists should drive carefully.
- Level 2 – Motorists should drive only when necessary
- Level 3 – Roads are closed to non-emergency travel. Police may arrest motorists who are on the road unnecessarily.
Public Records Request Overview
In order to support faster response and better tracking of requests, the City of Dublin uses JustFOIA to collect, respond to and manage public information requests.
Why JustFOIA?
JustFOIA is a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) online application that helps streamline the open records request process for the community and improve efficiencies in getting requested information quickly and accurately.
The application lets community members submit requests for all city records, including police reports. Commonly requested information includes accident reports, copies of resolutions and body-camera video.
