Snow Removal this Winter – What You Need to Know

The City’s Snow Removal Program aims to keep roads safe, accessible, and clear for emergency services, vehicles, and pedestrians. While our crews work diligently, winter weather can be unpredictable, and snow-clearing activities may vary. Here’s how you can help:

– Avoid pushing snow onto streets – This creates ridges that obstruct plowing efforts and creates larger snow ridges at your driveway.
Don’t pile snow on streets or hydrants – This can block emergency access.
Clear driveways before plows arrive – This helps crews work efficiently and prevents ridges.
Avoid parking on streets during snow clearing – Vehicles hinder operations and risk being blocked by snow.
Prevent driveway snow buildup – Place snow in yard areas rather than at the driveway edge.
Watch for posted removal zones – Vehicles parked in these areas may be ticketed and towed.
Stay back from sanding trucks– Keep a 15m distance to allow safe dispersion of salt and sand.
