After struggling to get a grip on winter storms with the existing snow plan in recent years, Gorton opted to start a new plan from scratch in March.
Now, as the weather starts to turn colder, city council members will be hearing specifics about her administration's overhauled strategy.
On the public-facing side, the plan would implement a winter weather dashboard to keep residents more up-to-date on plowing and cleanup efforts, and callers would be directed to Lex Call 311 for service requests.
As for operational changes, Aaron Mudd with Civic Lex says the plan calls for more streamlined routes and more tech.
"The city is simplifying its street clearing priorities, bringing in more truck drivers and installing tablets in city and contractor vehicles to track where trucks have been," he says.
One part of the blueprint, however, might prove too challenging for the city's school system.
"Updated Fayette County Public Schools bus routes add more than 350 lane miles to the routes the city would need to clear. The city's presentation calls that unmanageable with existing resources, and the district is working on an alternative plan," Mudd added.
The city council's Environmental Quality and Public Works Committee will see the full plan on Tuesday.
