January 15, 2016 - Following yesterday's snowfall City Road Crews are out in full force. Road crews started plowing arterial and collector streets at 1 am this morning and were completed by 7 am.

"Due to the quantity of snow fall received in combination with blowing snow, some of the arterial and collector streets need to be re-plowed, this will delay our response to residential plowing," said Brad Adams, Manager - Roads Division. "We anticipate to be completed the re-plowing of arterial, collector streets by noon at which time we will move into residential streets."
 
Residential street plowing will commence this afternoon and will continue throughout the weekend and is expected to be complete by Monday.
 
Sidewalk snow clearing started at 2 am this morning on the arterial collector streets sidewalks and in the core areas. Sidewalk snow clearing should be completed within three to five days.

Help Us Work Efficiently - Residents are reminded:

  • Be careful! Stay back when following a plow or sander. Give these large pieces of equipment
    extra room to maneuver. Do not pass. Turning a plow in an intersection often means the driver must back up while making the turn. For safety's sake - please stay back!
  • Be patient. Be assured that crews are working hard to keep roads open and safe.
  • Take your time when travelling to your destination. Winter weather can present some challenging driving conditions - slow down and remember to drive to road conditions.
  • Remember that calendar parking restrictions are enforced regardless of weather conditions. Be aware and follow the parking regulations for your street.
