We’re committed to keeping our roads, bike lanes and sidewalks safe and clear of snow and ice.

During residential plow outs, Plow Tracker shows our plows and contractor plows working together to clear roads, bike lanes and sidewalks. On other days, Plow Tracker shows plows doing regular winter road maintenance like using salt, sand, and brine to keep the roads, bike lanes and sidewalks clear of ice.

The City plows primary roads first, then secondary roads. Residential roads are plowed after at least eight centimetres of snow. Residential plow outs are typically completed within 24 hours after the snowfall stops. 

When it snows, we plow. Please wait 24 hours to report a concern about roads or bike lanes and 48 hours to report a concern about sidewalks.
