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.

Ice Conditions on Neighborhood Ponds
The Martensville Fire Department conducts regular ice measurements of the ponds in Martensville to ensure conditions are safe for recreational use. Measurements will be reported through the Fire Departments and the City of Martensville’s Facebook pages as well as reported on Martensville.ca. Ice is measured until thickness is above 12 inches.
Please pay attention to signs or barricades about ice conditions near ponds. Engaging in activities like skating on ponds is entirely at your own risk.
Ice should be avoided that:
-looks slushy
-has thawed, then froze again
-is near moving water
-is layered, caused by sudden temperature changes
-has structures on it, such as pressure ridges.
