Back off! Drivers expected to follow rules to keep snow removal operations safe
City roads foreman Jason Hladchuk wasn’t wearing his usual work attire when he showed up for his nightshift Friday.
The message Hladchuk most wants to get out is for motorists to do whatever they can to avoid coming close to the snow clearing operators. That might mean making a detour or roundabout route to avoid the plough altogether - whatever it takes to make their jobs safer. By the end of winter, snow piles can get quite high in residential areas. Kids tend to want to build snow caves in those piles but parents should not allow it just because of the danger factor on days when ploughs and loaders are in the area. Drivers are trained, if they see evidence of tunnelling, to stop and get out of their vehicle to check if anybody is inside.
All traction materials are sprayed with liquid salt before they are applied. Liquid salt is applied on some higher priority surfaces up to one day before a snowfall to minimize snow accumulations. City council in January approved a $10.2 million budget for snow clearing. The city ploughs 735 kilometres of roads and 200 km of sidewalks . When we get a dump of snow there are three level of priority that determine when those roads get ploughed. A priority map outlines what gets ploughed first.
