About Snow Removal
Snowfall amount, density of snow, humidity, rising or falling temperatures, wind velocity and direction along with the time of year, all play a part in how the City’s Public Works Department responds to any particular snow event. If a Citywide plowing program is implemented, it will be completed immediately after a snow event.
In the event of an emergency, snow plowing equipment will be diverted in order to assist police, fire or ambulance emergency vehicles as required.
Driveway approach clearing will be taking place as well but may not be completed immediately after plowing.
Snow plowing and/or snow removal are conducted according to a priority system. When storms are continuous, or closely follow one another, operations will be repeated or continued on the routes of the highest priority, before moving onto routes of a lesser priority. These route designations include the following:
Priority One "A" (P1A)
Include main routes to be plowed within 24 hours of the start of a snow event
Main arterial streets throughout the city to ensure ease of travel and plowed streets are evenly spread city wide
Once finished P1A route crews will move directly into P1 routes
Priority One (P1)
Include routes that primarily consist of arterial and collector streets, City bus routes and some selected residential streets.
The clearing of snow on these streets is the main emphasis of the snow clearing program following a snow event. City crews, however, may be clearing other streets while the P1 routes are being cleared.
Depending on conditions these streets are normally cleared in the first 24 to 72 hours (about 3 days) after plowing commences.
