Winter Maintenance and Snow Removal
For your travel safety and convenience, the Township provides winter road maintenance in accordance with the Province's
Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways
. When roads become icy, an initial pass of sand/salt is applied to all roads. Additional passes or changes to treatment responses may occur if staff encounter severe winter events or restricted resources. Therefore longer completion times may result. Your patience and co-operation is greatly appreciated in these circumstances.
Keeping Cleared Snow on Property
The Township devotes a great deal of resources to keep streets and sidewalks clear of snow and ice after a snowfall. Residents often deposit snow and ice from their property onto the street or sidewalk not realizing that this contravenes municipal regulations, contributes to unsafe driving and walking conditions, and increases the cost of providing winter road maintenance. When you're clearing snow from your driveway, please keep this snow on your property. Your efforts in making winter driving and walking safe for everyone are appreciated.
Tip for clearing driveways: Piling snow to the right side of the driveway can help reduce the amount of snow pushed back into the driveway. Standing in the driveway and looking at the street determines the right side. Don't forget to remove your parked car from the street during snow removal operations.
