Snow removal
If your matter pertains to snow removal, routine snow removal can vary based on amount of snow, presence of multiple events, ambient temperatures. The City clears major routes first, then backwards from there. You may see major routes such as the Parkways, Millstream Road, Goldstream Avenue etc. cleared more than once before much shorter cul-de-sac roads are plowed. This is to ensure emergency response and transit vehicles can get to the greatest population. If your road has not been attended to in the last 48 hours since the snowfall has stopped, please send an email to:
