Director of Public Works Steve Groen explains what to expect from snow plow operations on residential streets. Many streets have compacted snow that plows cannot fully remove. Crews are applying salt to help break down the snow and ice with the sun’s assistance, but this process takes time. We appreciate your patience as we work to clear the 3rd largest snowfall in Topeka’s history. If your road was missed, please call (785) 368-3111 to report it. | City of Topeka Government
