Sidewalk Snow Clearing
wind stops blowing snow onto the roads and sidewalks. Property owners can also be in violation of
the bylaw outside of specific snow events if their walk is not
shovelled as appropriate. For example, if high winds are causing drifts across the sidewalk, the
property owner must clear the sidewalk even though it was not a specific snow event. What does it
mean to “clear” the sidewalk? A safe and even walking surface is
expected on all City sidewalks adjacent to the property by clearing to the sidewalk edges and as
close to the concrete as possible. It should be shovelled within the allotted time to ensure snow
and ice do not build up or cause slippery conditions for users. Where can I put the snow? Snow
removed from sidewalks can be placed on the adjacent property or the curb next to the sidewalk,
ensuring it does not interfere with traffic. Shovelling or blowing snow into the driving lane is a
bylaw violation. Snow from driveways and private walkways should remain on the property. I live on
a corner lot. Am I expected to clear in front and along the side? Yes, all parts of the sidewalk
adjoining your property are expected to be cleared. What happens if I don’t shovel my sidewalk? The
goal of the bylaw is to ensure sidewalks across our community are accessible for our neighbours
throughout the winter months. Should enforcement be required, City staff will issue a Notice of
Non-Compliance to the property owner to clear the sidewalk in a specified timeframe. If the
property owner does not comply within the specified timeframe, the City will take action to have
the sidewalks cleared and the costs applied to their property taxes. What will the cost be if the
City has to clear the sidewalks? Our contractor charges an hourly rate that is comprised of labour,
equipment and snow removal costs. The amount applied to the property owner’s tax account is based
on the amount of time it takes the contractor to clear the sidewalk, which varies depending on the
size of the lot and the amount of snow/ice removed. How long will it take for the City to remedy
the situation? This timeline will vary depending on several factors including the number of snow or
ice events, properties to investigate, and resourcing of winter maintenance staff to remedy the
situation. Who has to clear sidewalks in front of rental properties? Property owners are
responsible for maintaining the sidewalks in front of their properties. What is the Schedule B
area? Schedule B is an appendix to The Clean Property Bylaw which identifies the area required to
clear sidewalks 24 hours after a snow or ice event. This area is primarily located within the
downtown area. What if my neighbour doesn’t clear the sidewalk in front of their property? There
may be several reasons including they are unaware of the bylaw, or unable to physically clear it.
If possible, ask them, or be a good neighbour and clear it for them. As a last option, it can be
reported to Service Regina online or by calling 306-777-7000. The City will schedule an inspection
of the sidewalk. What if I'm unable to clear my sidewalk? It’s important to make arrangements to
clear your sidewalks as per the bylaw. Ask for help from family, friends, or neighbours, or hire a
local student or snow removal company. How can I get support from or volunteer to be a Snow Angel?
Each community association is responsible for its own Snow Angels program. ...
Road Maintenance & Construction
This is a low-cost option where an asphalt overlay is placed on a sidewalk. This method is used to
quickly address trip hazards and provide a smooth walking surface.
It can also address concrete deficiencies on sidewalks that have no gutter or are separate from the
gutter, which cannot be mudjacked.
Sidewalk Treatments
Residential Road Renewal Program The Residential Road Renewal Program (RRRP) was established in
2015 to improve the condition of existing residential roads. Through comprehensive assessments of
the road structure and surface, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, as well as underground
infrastructure, this program identifies the appropriate treatments required on roads throughout the
City to improve the overall health of the network. Learn more about the RRRP Street Infrastructure
Renewal Program The Street Infrastructure Renewal Program (SIRP) is in place to improve the
condition of existing major roadway assets. It is primarily focused on improving major roads such
as expressways, arterial and collector category roads. A condition rating is used an indicator for
the health of the overall road network. It shows about 83 per cent of the paved surface of the
arterial and collector sub-network is in fair condition or better and has remained stable during
the last 20 years. Our major roads are inspected with a physical assessment every three years by an
external consultant. Sidewalks along major roads are inspected on an annual basis with the
residential road and sidewalk inspections. These physical assessment collects information
including: Pavement and concrete deficiencies - cracking, potholes, ravelling, rutting,
trip-hazards. Structural defects and remaining structural life. Drainage distresses on the road
surface and along the gutter. Water Infrastructure Renewal Program Projects help maintain and
improve the City’s drinking water system to ensure safe, clean drinking water throughout the
community. In addition to water system improvements completed in conjunction with road
construction, several stand-alone water construction projects take place, including relining,
directional drilling and repairing pipes nearing the end of their lifecycle. Sewer Infrastructure
Renewal Program These are projects that renew and extend the life of our aging underground sewer
main infrastructure. The City uses a cleaning and inspection method to determine what mains need to
be renewed. Then depending on the condition assessment, either relining or replacement techniques
are implemented to renew the City’s domestic and storm sewer infrastructure. Sewer relining is a
more minimally invasive, cost-effective and efficient method than the traditional method of
excavating and replacing the pipe, about one-third the full replacement cost. These processes will
renew and maintain the City’s sewer main networks for another 50 plus years of service. Pedestrian
Connectivity Program The primary goal of the Pedestrian Connectivity (PC) Program is to improve
walkability, better accommodate those who use
walking as their
primary mode of transportation and implement pedestrian accessibility ramps where practically
feasible. This is consistent with the community priority of developing complete neighbourhoods and
contributing to the development of a citywide pedestrian strategy of a continuous high-quality,
connected, safe and universally accessible
walking experience. The
PC Program is intended for locations where the pedestrian network can be connected to existing
transit routes, multi-use pathways and/or schools, focusing on important points that connect the
City’s pedestrian network. Locations are identified based on four guiding principles: Reduce risk
& improve safety for pedestrians Enhance connectivity Accessibility System maintenance
Transportation Operations Installing and upgrading traffic and pedestrian signals to ensure the
safety of the travelling public. Traffic Engineering Provide a safe, efficient and environmentally
sustainable traffic system for the movement of people and goods on City streets. Establish and
maintain technical credibility in preparing and reviewing transportation improvement plans with
Council, Committees of Council, Community Associations and the general public. Develop and maintain
the Traffic Bylaw to be legally sound and enforceable. Improve the transportation system through
changes to traffic signals by installing new signals, changing signal phasing, signal timing, and
progression to improve traffic flow and safety. Prepare parking plans which ensure traffic
operations efficiencies and reflect the needs of neighbouring residences, business operators and
institutions. Ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of all traffic control signs, pavement
markings, expressway lighting and streetlights. Develop and maintain plans and systems to ensure a
safe and accessible environment for all road users including vehicular, pedestrian and micro
mobility (bicycles and e-scooters). Maintain the Red Light Camera Program which now includes
rolling right turn on red light and the Automated Speed Enforcement Program. Adopted a Vision Zero
approach to road safety in 2024 with the goal to reduce all injuries and fatalities on the road
network. Lead and coordinate countermeasures to achieve this goal which are spread across many
internal and external stakeholders. Implement the internal countermeasures that include but are not
limited to traffic calming, enhanced pavement markings, pedestrian crossing upgrades, traffic
signal upgrades, community safety zones, and safety/educational campaigns. Temporary Traffic
