The “Snow Event” is now complete.

City staff are continuing with some post event cleanup.

Staff will continue to monitor weather reports.

It was direct and to the point – and there were few notes sent to the Gazette on the quality of the serviced.

Earlier in the year there were numerous complaints, especially in Alton and the Orchard.

A successful snow plow run.

City staff moved on the problems, the ward Councillor promised they wouldn’t happen again – and for the most part it appears that they didn’t.

Getting the vehicles off the street overnight when the plows have to be able to clear the snow was a challenge – but it seems to have worked.

Kudos to everyone.

    I run or walk long distances north, south, west and east in the city; l am amazed at how efficiently the snow is removed on the roads, sidewalks and bike paths. THANK YOU.

    Much earlier and better plowing job this last snowfall. Normally we don’t see a plow for 2 or 3 days (live on a cul de sac) , and when they appear they wave the plow over the packed down ice/snow ineffectively. This time though … here within 24 hours and we actually see asphalt. Seems they finally have the bugs out or have learned how to plow.
