Environment Canada says “damaging winds” along with blowing snow are set to develop Friday morning and continue into Saturday. Temperatures are also expected to plummet on Friday morning resulting in a potential flash freeze. “The weather is going to change extremely quickly, there’s going to be high winds so we have to try to get on top of it as quickly as we can,” Vincent Sferrazza, Director of Operations and Maintenance said at a news conference Thursday morning.
“We have maintenance patrollers working overnight, literally patrolling all the roads, taking weather conditions, and they'll be the ones that also help us in terms of if we have to go out earlier,” he said. Sferrazza said due to the expected severity of the storm all of the city’s infrastructure, including all roads, sidewalks, bicycle lanes and bus stops, will receive treatment, whether it be salting or plowing.“If you must travel please try to use public transit, use the TTC. But the conditions in this situation will be very dangerous. So we're advising if you have to travel please very, very carefully,” Sferrazza said.
