Keeping The Streets Cleared

Town of Ponoka begins snow clearing and ice control operations

Nov 10, 2020 | 4:23 PM

Town of Ponoka snow and ice control operations have begun clearing snow from town roadways, starting with priority routes.

Town officials say crews are also sanding and salting intersections as needed, clearing sidewalks adjacent to Town-owned properties, and clearing snow on walking trails and site furniture (benches and picnic tables, etc.) in Town parks and throughout the trail system. To report an icy intersection that may need attention, please contact the Town at 403-783-4431.

Officials say Town winter operations crews work to keep Ponoka’s roadways clear of snow in conjunction with the Alberta Ministry of Transportation, which is responsible for snow and ice control on Highways 2A and 53 in Ponoka.

However, with the arrival of winter, Ponoka residents are asked to keep sidewalks that border their property clear of snow and ice, as keeping residential sidewalks shoveled helps protect others from slipping and falling.

Town of Ponoka snow and ice control operations are conducted according to the Town’s Snow Removal and Ice Control Policy to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians and facilitate the operation of emergency services.
