Roads are maintained in a priority sequence, beginning with Regional Roads, followed by arterial and collector roads.
Snow-clearing operations begin on these roads once 2 cm of snow has accumulated. Regional, arterial and collector roads are cleared to bare pavement within 2 to 12 hours following the end of the winter storm event, depending on snow accumulations.
With accumulation of 5 cm or more of snow, sidewalks and pathways associated with schools, transit routes and major pedestrian travel are plowed. These sidewalk snow removal routes have three classifications and are maintained based on a priority sequence.
We offer the Windrow Removal Program in cooperation with Links2Care. This service helps seniors and persons with disabilities living in urban Milton remove the piles of snow left at the bottom of driveways after the snowplow passes (windrows). The program is limited to 50 eligible residences.
Registration is closed for the 2011/2012 winter season.
