Lots o’ snow! All crews & equipment are out

The City has all available crews and equipment clearing roadways as the snow continues to fall. Out today are:

• three 5-ton belly plows,
• two 3-ton plows
• one trackless unit
• two loaders
• and one grader

The City’s main priority is to ensure all roadways are open and safe for travel. Once this is complete, crews will widen neighbourhoods, then focus on snow removal by hauling snow from dead-ends, cul-de-sacs, and other areas.

We thank everyone for their patience as we work hard to keep up with the weather.

More snow is coming!

Starting tonight (Tuesday, November 29) through Wednesday, weather forecasts are estimating between 10-20 cm of snow for our area. During the snow event, City crews will be maintaining high priority collector roads and steeply graded hills. Once the snowfall has subsided, work will begin to open and widen remaining roadways.

The City’s snow removal priorities are listed at www.trail.ca/SnowRemoval

Thank you,
