Novosibirsk prepares for winter snowfall with equipment and workers for winter snow removal in Novosibirsk, they plan to use 535 units of equipment and about 800 workers. First Deputy Mayor Joseph Kodlev noted that this would be sufficient for normal snowfalls, but in the event of heavy rains, contractors would be brought in. They plan to buy 50 tractors for 250 million rubles to clean sidewalks, but the funding for this has not yet been decided. Three types of removal mixtures will be used in the streets, including a new composition with marble chips. But due to limited budgetary resources, the municipality will continue to pour the traditional sand-salt mixture.
