City crews have plowed or sanded about 75 percent of Bend’s collectors and arterials as of 8 a.m. this morning. In addition to evening crews yesterday, a full crew was called out at 2 a.m. this morning to continue our snow management efforts. Crews continue their efforts through the day with the additional support of contracted crews.
