Snow Clearing Update: January 5, 2021

Teams are still in the process of making the residential areas more accessible and improving the safety of main roads by widening some of the higher priority routes. Crews have now completed snow removal and hauling along Marina Drive from the Lakepoint Drive intersection south to the Alta Link crossing area and have also completed the clearing and widening in the Kinniburgh area.

Here is the current plan for today’s snow clearing:

• Continue to remove snow along higher priority routes such as the Windermere, Invermere and Springmere areas. Once those are completed, crews will move over to the Kinniburgh Boulevard area on Wednesday.   
• Clean up outer rural areas where needed. 
• Clear obstructions to crosswalks, fire hydrants, and catch basins and respond to additional service requests. (Community members are also encouraged to shovel out any fire hydrants on their property if they can).

 Crews have responded to more than 200 service inquiries between Dec 22, 2020  – Jan 5, 2021.
