ALTON - The Alton Public Works Department is preparing for the winter storm event coming into our area this weekend. The forecast has changed and will continue to do so until the storm arrives. "Please be aware that our crews will focus on clearing the main routes through town first before touching any side streets," the department said in a statement. A couple tips to ensure both your safety and that of City of Alton snow plow drivers, please remember and practice the following tips: · If possible, avoid travel. · Don't follow too closely behind a snowplow; follow at a safe distance, stay at least 200 feet behind it.
