Residential Snow Clearing To Begin Friday, Dec. 9th


December 8, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brandon, MB – The City of Brandon’s Streets and Roads Department wishes to advise the public that the snow clearing of residential zones across Brandon will begin on Friday, December 9th.

Crews will remain on a 24-hour shift, with work being done today and overnight to complete snow clearing on Priority Routes 4, 5, & 6. Once those are complete, residential street clearing will begin, starting in Residential Zone “D”. Residential Zones “E” and “F” are also scheduled for clearing over the weekend, after which scheduling for additional residential zones will be announced. Scheduling of this work for the remainder of the City will take into consideration refuse and recycling pickup in the residential areas.

It is important to note that residential areas will not be signed with “No Parking” signage prior to plowing, with the exception of the core area due to the narrow width of the streets. Residents and motorists can greatly aid the overall process by watching for snow-clearing equipment in their neighbourhood and endeavoring to park off-street until clearing is complete. Up-to-date snow clearing activity can also be tracked by visiting the City of Brandon’s Online Snow Clearing map at http://gis.brandon.ca/snowclearing/.

Residents with specific street clearing questions are asked to call the City of Brandon Streets and Roads Department at 204-729-2285 or 204-729-2290.
