Residential snow plowing starts Monday

The City of Red Deer says residential snow plowing will get underway next week.

In a release, The City says Snow Zone plowing on Green Routes will start in Snow Zone F on Monday, February 5 and will continue 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday until complete. Green Routes are plowed to bare pavement and the snow is removed. Vehicles left on the street will be ticketed and towed.

Grey Routes will be scheduled for plowing once the snowpack reaches 10 cm.

“High traffic volumes, coupled with warm and cold temperatures, have created tall ruts in the snow on Green Routes, making it difficult to drive in some areas,” said Public Works Manager Greg Sikora “Grey Routes are in better shape because they have lower traffic volumes, which leave smaller ruts. We’re monitoring the weather conditions and will plow Grey Routes once they reach a 10 cm snowpack.”
