Emergency
The Street Department has the primary
responsibility for snow removal within Goshen City limits. To
ensure a safe flow of traffic and to aid the Street Department with
its snow removal efforts, the Mayor may need to declare a Snow

and trash collection provisions may be enacted. The snow emergency
and any special instructions will be announced through local
television, radio, or news services during and after the snowfall.
In times of emergency it is important to pay attention to local
news media.
