In Finland, a new evaluation method called “snow balance in street area” has been developed to help urban planners and designers calculate snow storage capacity in streets and how much needs to be transported away. Snow logistics are a cost for society and need to be incorporated into urban planning and sustainable development efforts. 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Analyze the snow balance in street areas.

2.     Develop better and sustainable snow logistics in urban environment.

3.     Identify how winter maintenance solutions used in Finland may be replicated in North America.
