A minor equipment break-down caused a slight delay in our removal progress. All is repaired now, and we’ve completed the following roads:
- South Park Drive

We will begin clearing the remaining collectors on Monday morning:
- 42 Street (South Park Drive – Campbell Road)
- Caledonia Drive
- Bella Coola Drive
- 52 Street / 57 Avenue (43 Avenue – 50 Street)
Following that, we move into general residential local roads. A list will be created and posted here as we enter into those areas.
Please keep in mind that snow removal is planned around residential waste/organics pickup so no conflict occurs with garbage trucks. Adequate signage, both static and electronic, coupled with web and social media updates will occur to help our residents plan for our arrival.
Here's a picture of our operator using City-owned blowers to process snow at our Engineered Snow Dump (rather than using old technology of pushing snow up the pile with Caterpillar Dozers). Historically, that was a lease cost of about $100,000 annually – that cost has been eliminated!
January 13, 2017 AM:
Collector roads are over half way cleared. We hope to finish early next week and then start on residential snow removal.
At this time, we are unsure of which area of the city the crew will be starting in. Electronic signs will be placed to notify residents in areas to be cleared.
Parking vehicles in driveways or on an alternate street until grading is complete means better, faster snow removal service.
