Local rules & timing

Bend Municipal Code 5.35.020 requires snow to be cleared from sidewalks within 6 daylight hours in commercial areas (1 day elsewhere), and ice removed or covered with traction material in the same window; violations are civil infractions with fines up to $400 for businesses and $200 for homeowners.

Rules can change, so verify current requirements with your municipality.

Local conditions

A few things about Bend specifically inform how service is scheduled.

Bend sits at about 3,600 feet on the eastern, rain-shadow side of the Cascades, in Oregon's high desert. This location keeps in-town snowfall moderate (~22in/yr) and often short-lived, while the nearby Cascade peaks and Mt. Bachelor, just 20 miles west, receive many times more snow due to orographic lift.

We regularly service routes near US Route 97 (Bend Parkway), US Route 20, Century Drive.

Response time

Response within 1 hour during a storm. That response time applies day or night; storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we.

Residential

For Bend driveways, plowing is scheduled around your trigger depth rather than a route that visits every property at the same time regardless of conditions. Sidewalk clearing can be bundled in, so the whole property is handled on one visit.

Commercial

Bend commercial lots are serviced on a trigger depth tied to your operating hours, not a fixed daily route, so the property is clear before you open rather than sometime during the day.
