Residential Street Snow Removal

Residential street snow removal typically occurs when snow accumulates to a minimum of 22 centimetres and other higher priority roads have been cleared to an acceptable condition. It is handled separately from snow routes.

When residential street snow removal is active, orange signs will be posted at the entrance to subdivisions indicating the date that snow removal operations will start, and that parking is not permitted (signs are posted a minimum of 72 hours in advance of the start of snow removal operations). On-street residential parking is not permitted from the date snow removal operations are scheduled to begin until snow removal is complete. Vehicles that are not removed will be towed. Once the orange signs are removed, parking will again be permitted. When residential street snow removal is underway, residents can check snow removal progress online.

Each snow clearing season the rotation for residential street snow removal changes with each subdivision moving up one place in the rotation. Example: If your subdivision is #6 this year, next year it will be #5 in the rotation. If you live in a new subdivision, the developer is responsible for snow removal until such time that the City has taken ownership of the roads and utilities from the developer.
