Residents must ensure parked vehicles are removed from these streets by midnight on the date scheduled for snow removal or they will be towed away. Residents are advised that there will be traffic delays in snow removal areas and if possible, to use an alternate route to avoid delays. The City asks residents to ensure Curbside Carts are returned to your property prior to the scheduled snow removal on your street.
The City carries out snow removal, snow ploughing and winter street sand placement to increase traction on the road and improve pedestrian and motorist safety. The schedule for snow removal is determined by a priority system. High traffic areas and areas close to schools have a higher priority than low traffic residential roads.
The week of December 5th to December 9th will see snow removal take place on Finlayson Drive, Kam Lake Road, Range Lake Road, and Old Airport Road.
