Local conditions
Here's what actually affects plowing and ice control in West Des Moines.
West Des Moines shares the Des Moines metro's official climate station, so its snowfall totals track the capital city's closely. The historic Valley Junction commercial district has narrow, closely-spaced storefronts that require more careful sidewalk and street clearing than the wide arterials near Jordan Creek Town Center. As one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the metro, newer subdivisions on the city's west edge add curb-mile every year that the city's plow routes have to account for.
We regularly service routes near I-235, I-80, I-35, Grand Avenue, University Avenue.
Residential

Response time
