Contract Zoning Application
Contract Zoning is the process of rezoning land to accommodate specified uses or developments subject to conditions, terms or time limits.
Plowing, Snow and Ice Control
vent) and when weather and time permits. The community is divided into sectors to plow more than
500 kilometres of residential roads. Snow ridges are stored in the
parking lane, and residents can help crews plow streets faster by parking in their driveway or
garage. After a major snow event, crews also work to plow alleys that receive garbage and recycling
pick up and try to provide residents with access to their alley parking. Because alleys are narrow,
they are plowed by equipment with a blade on the front instead of a plow. This equipment leaves a
snow ridge that residents will need to clear. Snow Routes Snow routes are called when there is 5 cm
of snow in a single event. It keeps traffic moving and expedites snow plowing after heavy snowfall
by declaring a 24-hour parking ban along a designated route. Learn More About Snow Routes Winter
Maintenance Interactive Map Residents can now use a new interactive map to track the City’s winter
maintenance activities during a snow event, including finding out when we will plow your street and
finish plowing the entire city. Explore the Winter Maintenance Map Sidewalk Snow & Ice Removal
Snow and ice on residential sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner/resident. It’s
important to keep your sidewalks shovelled and sanded to help pedestrians walk safely and easily
down the street. All properties centrally located within Schedule B must clear ice and snow from
the sidewalk adjacent to their property within 24 hours of a snow or ice event. Businesses,
apartments and vacant lots outside of downtown must clear ice and snow from sidewalks within 48
hours. Snow removed from private property should be stored on their
private yard, not on streets, sidewalks or boulevards. Effective January 1, 2022, all property
owners city-wide must clear sidewalks following a snow or ice event. City Council approved Sidewalk
Snow Clearing as part of The Clean Property Bylaw to help keep our neighbourhood sidewalks
accessible for all users. Learn more about the new provision. Learn more about winter maintenance.
What hours do your winter maintenance crews work? Crews work 24/7 throughout the winter season. How
much equipment do you have? City has over 50 pieces of heavy equipment including graders, sanding
plow trucks, payloaders, snow blowers, sidewalk tractors, semi-trailer trucks that are used for
winter maintenance activity. In additional several contractors are also hired to provide winter
maintenance support during winter season. Why does the City leave snow ridges? Snow ridges are a
result of plowing the road. Snow plows use a flipper or snow-gate blade to minimize snow ridges
across alley entrances, intersections and driveways to reduce the height to approximately 30 cm.
The City tries to ensure snow ridges remain in the curb lane, not on sidewalks. Crews do not remove
snow down to bare pavement since doing so would scrape and damage the street and sidewalk. Please
submit a Service Request if a snow ridge is left on your driveway, blocking intersection sightlines
or making driving hazardous. It may cost the City over 10 million dollars to remove all residential
snow ridges once during the season. The process of snow ridge removal from the residential streets
may take several weeks to complete. Crews follow the winter maintenance policy that was approved by
the Council and updated from November 1, 2021. Can you build snow barriers on the outskirts of the
City to help alleviate blowing snow conditions? Yes. Crews regularly inspect the outer areas of the
City that are known to have issues with blowing snow. Snow barriers are placed once sufficient snow
is available to build the barrier. Here is a map of locations that have been identified as suitable
for snow barriers and where permission has been given by the landowners.
