Winter Weather

Now that winter weather is here, we've got snow plow crews working around the clock to treat, plow, and de-ice city roads!

Check out our Snow Removal Page to learn how the City manages winter events, view the prioritized snow route map and schedule, submit a snow removal request, and get answers to the most common FAQs! Questions like...

• How long does it take to clear the streets?
• Why wasn't my street plowed?
• What do I do if a snow plow truck causes damage to my property?

83rd & Lexington Open House

We're hosting a public open house on February 7th to gather community input on the 83rd and Lexington Corridor Study. The focus of the study is to look at a range of multimodal improvements along the 83rd and Lexington Avenue Corridor, from K-10 to the Eastern De Soto city limits. 

This open house is an informal gathering for the community and City/consultant representatives to discuss initial ideas and collect public input for the study. Come share your thoughts, ideas, and vision for connecting De Soto!

• Date: Wednesday, February 7th
• Time: 5:30pm to 7:00pm
• Location: Council Chambers

How It Works:

1. Sign up at flashvote.com/desotoks
2. Choose how you want to share your opinion: voice, text, or email
3. Expect 1-minute surveys every 4-8 weeks
4. Respond within 48 hours once a survey drops
5. Receive the results right after the survey closes - showing you how the rest of the community feels about the same topic.

View the results of our first survey, which gauged general public interest on a multi-purpose community center in De Soto.

These findings help influence the City Council's initial discussions, like whether it's a worthwhile project to pursue, but an in-depth community study would be necessary if the project moved forward.
