“Road crews are actively maintaining roads, prioritizing escarpment accesses, Class 1 and 2 roads, and cycling lanes,” reads a message from the City. 

“Crews are also diligently cleaning up residential areas, sidewalks and cycling lanes from snowfall earlier this week.”

Locals are reminded to keep their sidewalks clear and safe for pedestrians, avoid unnecessary travel whenever possible, drive safely according to conditions, and leave enough room for road crews to complete their work.
