City's new driveway windrow clearing program
This year, for the first time, the city budget includes citywide residential driveway windrow clearing as part of its standard snow clearing operations. A windrow is the pile of snow left at the curb after a snow plow has cleared the road. After the snow plow passes for the last round of clearing, it will clear ta 3-metre (10 foot) opening at the end of your driveway within 6 hours later. Snow along the curb is not cleared.
Additionally, all sidewalks are now plowed as part of our snow clearing service.
To ensure our crews can clear these areas:
- Don’t park on the street, sidewalk, or at the end of your driveway
- Move garbage and recycling bins away from the curb
- Remove sports equipment, yard decorations and other items from around your driveway entrance and sidewalk
Driveways and sidewalks blocked by parked cars, garbage and recycling bins, sports equipment or other obstacles will not be cleared.
The citywide program replaces the previous windrow clearing program for older adults or those will mobility challenges. Property owners with homes on public roadways will receive this service automatically and do not need to register for it in advance.
