City of Brandon Seasonal Snow Clearing Routes Now In Effect


November 15, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brandon, MB – While winter weather hasn’t hit Brandon just yet, the City of Brandon’s Streets and Roads Department would like to remind all Brandon residents and motorists that the provision for overnight parking restrictions on all signed seasonal snow clearing routes is now in effect for the 2016-2017 winter season.

As per the City of Brandon Traffic By-law, overnight parking along these routes (12 a.m. to 8 a.m.) between the dates of November 15th and March 31st annually is prohibited if a snow plowing/removal notice has been issued for the specific route by the City of Brandon. Snow plowing/removal notices are issued by the City of Brandon to its website and through its social media platforms, and notification is also provided to Brandon’s local media outlets. However, residents who wish to receive direct email notifications prior to the implementation of such parking bans can do so by clicking here. A full list of routes can be found on the City of Brandon website at www.brandon.ca/snow-routes.

Ahead of the impending start of the snowfall season, residents are also being reminded that the best way to stay up-to-date on all regular snow plowing activity on City of Brandon streets is by regularly visiting snowmap.brandon.ca. The City of Brandon’s interactive snow clearing website map is updated after a snowfall to show when snow plowing or snow removal activity is scheduled along a priority route or in a residential zone.

New map features this year include the addition of a visual progress tracker to mark where crews have been as they make their way along a priority route or through a residential area, as well as a cleaner look to the website and a better interface for users. All residents are encouraged to visit snowmap.brandon.ca and “Know Your Zone” before the snow begins to fall!
