As winter weather approaches, Belton Public Works crews are taking proactive steps to prepare City streets by applying brine ahead of snow and ice events. Brine is a saltwater solution that is applied to road surfaces before winter weather arrives. When used in advance, brine helps prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement, making roads safer and allowing crews to respond more efficiently if conditions worsen. Emergency snow routes and priority streets are treated first to ensure access for emergency vehicles and high-traffic areas. Residential streets follow as crews continue working. Drivers are encouraged to use caution while crews are operating and as winter weather approaches.
