City Manager Toby Dougherty has ended the Winter Storm Traffic Emergency plan for the City of Hays. People who live or work along emergency snow routes can now return to their normal routine of parking on the snow routes. The City of Hays Public Works Department will continue with snow removal operations throughout the day. Tonight, the crews will focus on removing snow from the downtown area.
While the worst of the winter storm has missed the City of Hays, winter precipitation and blowing snow may continue to cause problems through the day. The Hays Police Department is asking motorists to limit their travel if at all possible. Those that must travel are advised to do so with caution and are encouraged to give themselves extra time to reach their destination. Please remember to drive slowly, pay attention to vehicles in front of you, and allow for extra stopping distance. The public’s cooperation is greatly appreciated. If there are questions, please contact the Hays Police Department at 625-1030 or the Hays Public Works Department at 628-7350.
