Residential Snow Removal Returns to Central District (Zone 3) and Lucas Heights (Zone 1) for February 24 - 28
Residential snow removal operations will return to Central District (Zone 3) next week (February 24 – 28) beginning with Priority Routes first, followed by residential streets.
Snow removal operations will move to Lucas Heights (Zone 1) on Wednesday, February 26 due to waste collection in Central District on that day.
Please note that changing weather conditions and new snowfall events can require crews to direct their attention back to priority routes and delay planned snow removal operations. As a result, crews may not complete the entire zone and will return at a later date.
‘No Parking’ Signs
Please watch for ‘No Parking’ signs and move parked vehicles from roads when the signs are posted.
Removing your vehicle from the roadway when ‘No Parking’ signs are posted in advance of snow removal operations helps crews conduct snow removal more effectively and safely. It is also a requirement under the Town’s Traffic Bylaw and can result in fines and towing of the vehicle at the owner’s expense if needed.
