City of Tulsa street crews turned their focus today to brine application.
Brine crews will address any winter precipitation that moves through tonight. Since Monday, crews have applied 1,600 tons of salt, 33,000 gallons of brine, and have plowed 9,700 lane miles.
During winter weather response, the first focus is to clear city arterial streets for emergency responders. After arterial streets are clear, the second focus moves to residential or collector streets near hospitals, schools, and steep hills.
