I wanted to share these links since my office receives a lot of questions about road conditions when a big snow storm hits, and where the snow plows are. The city has priorities roads when a snow storm hits, first the main roads like Memorial, MacLeod, Crowchild etc, with secondary roads in every community – to keep it simple if a bus drives by your home, you are on a priority route.
Areas not cleared by The City
The City does not have Council approval or budget to:
-
Remove snow on residential streets, and most roadways.
-
Residential streets are always monitored following each snow event; crews will level ruts and apply materials as needed
-
-
Clear sidewalks bordering private homes or businesses; this is the responsibility of the home/business owner
-
Clear back lanes or alleyways
-
Clear snow on engineered walkways: the pedestrian/cycling thoroughfares located between private properties, usually with a barrier at either end to prevent motorized access
