Snow Clearing
During average snowfalls, snow is cleared from the driving lanes on those roadways identified in the Snow and Ice Control Map based on the following priorites and targets:
- Priority 1: Within 8 hours after an accumulation of 1 inch.
- Priority 2: Within 24 hours after an accumulation of 2 inches.
- Priority 3: Within 24 hours after an accumulation of 3 inches.
- Priority 4: Within 48 hours after an accumulation of 3 inches.
- Priority 5: As deemed necessary.
Although the Municipality is conscientious and tries to limit the amount of snow left in windrows when plowing, snow is not cleared across private driveways or parking lanes.
Snow Removal
Snow piles and windrows are removed when they:
- Create an unsafe sightline.
- Prohibit the safe passage of vehicles and/or pedestrians.
- Create drainage issues.
Snow Storage Sites
Ratepayers may dispose of uncontaminated snow from their properties at the snow storage site with a Snow Disposal and Haul Permit.
