Local Residential Streets

Once major roads, on-street bike lanes, priority sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, bus stops and roadside multi-use trails are clear, then crews focus on clearing residential roads and secondary streets.

These streets do not receive the same level of service as priority roads.

Type of Road Less than 5 cm of snow 5 to 15 cm of snow 15 to 30 cm of snow More than 30 cm of snow or back-to-back storms
