Snow and Sanding Operations
Businesses and residents can assist the city with snow removal and sanding operations in a number of ways:
– Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the streets.
– Remove snow and ice from sidewalks fronting their properties.
– Park vehicles off city streets/avenues while snow removal is in progress or when snow removal signage is in place.
– Stay well back from sand trucks and plows.
– Do not let children play on snow banks adjacent to roads and ensure they remain well away from snow removal equipment.
– Do not place steel posts or rocks on boulevards as markers, these could cause damage to city vehicles and injury to city personnel. Anyone responsible for such installations will be held liable for any injury or damage caused.
Shift into Winter
Shift into Winter is a joint provincial initiative supported by organizations committed to improving the safety of drivers during the winter months. Every day, thousands of B.C. drivers and workers are at risk of being injured or killed while on the road. The risk increases significantly when winter weather makes roads more hazardous due to fog, rain, snow and ice.
If you can, wait until the weather improves before getting in your car. The best way to stay safe on the roads during winter is to avoid driving when road and weather conditions are bad. Even an hour or two can make a big difference. Make sure your vehicle is winter ready, give yourself extra time to get to your destination, and carry an emergency survival kit.
