Snow Removal

Please click here to read the Winter Road Maintenance Policy.

After a heavy snowfall, public works staff prioritize the order in which roads are plowed. We strive to provide a fair and equal service during and after snowstorms. Our main high-traffic grid roads, and country residential developments, receive top priority. Bus routes get cleared as a matter of course with all other roads, but in extreme conditions, bus routes are given priority. 

In Emerald Park, public works prioritizes:

• Bus Routes
• South Plains Road
• Kingsmere Avenue
• Sapphire Drive, and
• Emerald Drive

After public works staff plow these routes, focus shifts to the remaining streets, roads, crescents, and bays, followed by walkways.

Outside of Emerald Park, public works prioritizes:

• Bus Routes
• High Traffic Main Roads
• Paved Roads, and
• Country Residential Subdivision Roads
  
  

After public works staff plow these routes, focus shifts to the remaining grid and farm access roads. Not everyone can be first served, but we do alternate our routes each time out to be as fair as possible.
