Weather-Event Management
MU Campus Road & Sidewalk Conditions
When the weather outside is frightful, Campus Facilities – Landscape Services is ready to manage the clearing of vehicle and pedestrian routes on campus.
Management of winter weather events is dynamic and subject to "change with the weather." As conditions warrant, we will have ready to use by 7 a.m. the primary vehicle and pedestrian routes of access and travel through campus. Secondary routes will be cleared as soon as possible after the primary routes are cleared. "Cleared" means the route has been plowed and treated with ice-melt.
Primary MU campus vehicle and pedestrian routes cleared by CF – LS are shown on the Priority Campus Snow Removal Routes Map. Please note that some streets on the MU campus are the responsibility of the City of Columbia's Public Works Department and some are the responsibility of the Missouri Department of Transportation.
CF – LS coordinates the MU campus weather event response. Other campus departments responsible for responding to weather events include:
All areas of campus are important and will be cleared as quickly as possible, but some areas have a higher priority than others. After a winter weather event, CF – LS will coordinate snow and ice removal from campus areas in this order:
- University Hospital & Clinics drives and roadways, including:
- Emergency room entries and driveways
- Helipad and access walks
- Dean's Drive and Loading Dock Drive
- Campus building entrances and steps
- Disabled parking areas and shuttle-bus shelters in parking lots SG4, AV14, RP10 and CG1
- Campus sidewalks
- Major thoroughfares
- Minor thoroughfares
- Delivery and unloading zones
- University-owned thoroughfares, as conditions require
- Parking lots, when accumulation is greater than 3 inches
The MU Recreation Trail will not be cleared after a winter weather event.
