WINTER OPERATIONS UPDATE: January 28, 2026
Some new information since Monday:
The Street Department (4 trucks in total) continues to clear roadways curb-to-curb and are clearing roads using the NO PARKING restrictions typically followed during the street sweeping/road maintenance schedule.
The Thursday and Friday routes cover most areas of Oakmont and we ask that residents in those areas help by moving cars.
If there is a challenge to park somewhere else temporarily, even moving a car for 5-10 minutes helps the crew clear the road to the curb.
Shank Waste is still following the day-late schedule AND are going back to streets not collected from the day before. Shank encourages those residences not collected a day late, keep or put the collection out the next day. They are repeating routes from the day before.
Rock salt does not break down and snow and ice on roads at these temperatures. The inventory is low enough that conservation measures are in place. The supplier owes Oakmont 300 tons of rock salt we ordered earlier in the month (so we are a priority); we expect delivery this week.
Your continued patience and understanding is appreciated.
WINTER OPERATIONS UPDATE: January 26, 2026 – 12:00 Noon
Thank you for your continued patience as we navigate through this winter storm event. Oakmont Street Department started their emergency response at 4:30 AM Sunday morning plowing roads, focusing on the main artery roadways through Oakmont, Hulton Bridge, and hill roads and intersections and haven’t stopped yet.
Now that the storm has passed, starting today the focus is moving towards roadway cleanup. This includes additional plowing to open intersections and treating all roadways with rock salt. This will take the time to complete.
Starting tomorrow, the NO PARKING restrictions typically followed during street sweeping season will be followed. We ask that vehicles be removed from the roadway in accordance with the posted schedule in your specific area of Oakmont.
Additionally we recognize there is a great deal of snow blocking driveways. Because of the volume of snow that we experienced in our area, our crews have no alternatives for the placement of snow. There is no control of the snow once it exits the plow.
However, residents can use this “hack” to lessen the amount of snow that can block the driveway. This vieo outlines the preventive steps a homeowner can do to solve the blocked driveway problem.
Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this storm and cleanup…it is much appreciated!!
