Understanding the calendar of street operations
Why can’t a pothole be patched in January? When are streets swept and water mains flushed? When does roadside mowing take place? Why can’t a ditch be mowed in November, if the weather is still nice?
The city of Minnetonka’s streets division follows a calendar each year that indicates when certain activities take place, many of which are weather dependent. Paving and pothole patching are dependent not only on the weather but also on the availability of blacktop material, which is only produced in the warmer months in Minnesota. Still others are linked to when public works switches its seasonal equipment from summer to winter operations, and back again.
The grid below shows when street operations take place throughout the year. If you have questions about street maintenance, contact Minnetonka Public Works at 952.988.8400.
