Winter is on the way! The City of Leduc is reminding residents to prepare for snow removal operations before the first major snowfall arrives. Taking a few simple steps now can help keep roads clear, neighbourhoods safe, and snow removal crews working efficiently throughout the season.
For homeowners: a few easy steps make a big difference
Help crews clear streets safely and effectively:
- Remove rubber driveway curb pads, basketball nets, and other items near the curb.
- Keep fire hydrants clear of snow.
- Shovel snow onto your yard, not onto the street.
- Use free sand and chips from City bins to improve traction on icy sidewalks.
- Report snow and ice concerns through the SeeClickFix app.
Know your parking ban
When snow removal is required, parking bans help crews clear roads quickly and safely.
Vehicles left on streets during a parking ban may be ticketed ($225 fine) and towed to the nearest cleared road.
Priority 3: Collector Roads Parking Ban
These apply to collector roads, which are major roads within neighbourhoods and may include bus routes. Residents receive 24 hours’ notice before snow removal begins. Vehicles must be moved to nearby residential roads until work is complete.
Priority 4: Residential Roads Parking Ban
These apply to residential streets and cul-de-sacs. Residents receive 48 hours’ notice before snow removal begins, and temporary signs are posted at neighbourhood entrances. Snow clearing in a neighbourhood typically takes one to four days.
Be ready before a parking ban is declared
Stay informed and avoid surprises:
- Find out which parking ban applies to your street.
- Sign up for City notifications and alerts.
- Check the snow removal schedule regularly.
- Plan alternative parking locations ahead of time.
