Does Council give direction to when and how crews deal with snow clearing?
Yes, Council has set the priorities for winter operations through the approval of the Maintenance Quality Standards. Based on these standards City crews work diligently and professionally to ensure the safety and accessibility of the transportation network. The Maintenance Quality Standards recognizes that: “Under extreme winter storm conditions (i.e. those that exceed normal conditions), snow and ice control operations will be carried out based on the capacity of resources in as continuous a manner as practicable”.
