Harsh winter conditions predicted for Oldenburg
Heavy snowfall is expected to hit Oldenburg this Sunday, with meteorologists forecasting up to 30 centimeters of accumulation. The city's Winter Service Department, in collaboration with the Waste Management Office, is gearing up for the challenge.
Volker Schneider-Kühn, AWB operations manager, emphasizes that winter service is a shared responsibility. He encourages everyone to do their part in ensuring safety and efficiency during the winter storm.
The city's winter service department has 60 employees on standby, ready to deploy their vehicles prepared for the winter weather. The salt supply for the AWB is also fully stocked.
In light of the approaching storm, Schneider-Kühn urges residents to avoid unnecessary car or bike trips. The fewer vehicles and bicycles on the roads and bike paths, the easier and faster the snow can be cleared by the snowplows.
To further facilitate snow removal, the city is asking for the public's help in clearing and salting pedestrian and bicycle paths adjacent to properties. This cooperation between the Winter Service Department and the residents is intended to improve efficiency and speed in snow clearing.
Schneider-Kühn also emphasizes the importance of preventing accidents and health hazards for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. He encourages everyone to do their part to ensure safety for all.
It is recommended that residents avoid entering wooded areas due to the risk of branch breakage. The city's winter service department aims to prevent accidents and health hazards for all road users, including those using pedestrian and bicycle paths.
The city's winter service department is working towards ensuring safety and efficiency in the upcoming winter storm, with the public's cooperation. By working together, Oldenburg hopes to overcome the winter storm challenge together.
