Thanks neighbour! You make a difference Thanks for: Clearing snow and ice from your sidewalks by 11 am the day after a snowfall. Clearing the sidewalks both in front of and beside your property if you live on a corner lot. Not shovelling snow from your property onto the road or sidewalk. Not placing your waste carts on the sidewalk or road on collection day. Clear a spot for the carts at the bottom of your driveway or on the boulevard, just behind the curb. Not parking on the street until it has been salted or plowed (even if you have a valid permit to park). Parking on the street during or after a snowfall blocks access for snow clearing equipment and emergency service. Did a neighbour come and shovel snow for you? Follow @CityBrampton on Twitter and say #thanksneighbour!
Our work crews maintain roads and sidewalks in a priority order. Our goal is to have these completed within 24 hours after the end of a snowfall. Service may take longer if weather conditions are severe. WHAT S DONE? Primary roads carry high volumes of traffic (e.g. Main Street, Bramalea Road) on a Brampton Transit/Züm bus route have a Peel Public or Separate school Local residential streets and courts CAUTION First to be cleared when it snows Salted as needed, then plowed continuously during any snowfall Started once primary roads are complete Salted (may be sanded during extreme cold weather) Plowed when a single storm results in at least 7.5 cm of snow City-cleared sidewalks on primary roads in front of City parks/facilities curb-faced (no grass boulevard) behind a property on roads with Brampton Transit/Züm bus stops Plowed and sanded Recreational facility parking lots Park recreational trails Salted and/or sanded Plowed and sanded.
Did you know? Before a storm, we put a liquid salt brine down on primary roads. This prevents snow from sticking on the roads and makes them easier to plow. Not sure if you live on a primary or local road, or if your sidewalk is cleared by the City? Visit www.brampton.ca/snow and click on Snow Plow Routes to search by address. The priority of our work crews is to clear the travelled portion of the road. The only place to move the snow is onto the boulevard, which includes driveways. As a result, the snow left at the end of your driveway (known as a windrow ) is unavoidable. In case of emergency Winter can bring severe weather conditions. Brampton s Emergency Management Office has information to help your family be prepared in the event of heavy snow, freezing rain, extreme cold or other conditions. City of Brampton recreation facilities are designated as safe haven locations. If an emergency is declared, you can take shelter or visit when in need of assistance. Visit www.brampton.ca/prepared for tips on developing an emergency plan, putting together emergency kits for your home and car, and staying safe when driving or shovelling.
