WINTER OPERATIONS FAQ More FAQs can be found at www.prescott.ca/snow Are all roads cleared at once? No. The Municipality clears primary and some secondary roads first to ensure that emergency services can gain access throughout the Municipality. These are the roads that carry the higher volumes of traffic and are the roads people use to get to business areas. Residential streets are plowed only after primary and secondary roads are cleared. When snow continues to fall over a long period, plows may not be able to immediately clear residential and less-travelled roads as they must continue working to ensure main roads are clear.

What are primary, secondary and residential roads? Primary, secondary, and residential roads are defined by Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways, O. Reg. 239/02. Primary roads are generally those with the highest speeds and greatest volume of traffic. Secondary roads have less traffic and generally lead to primary roads. The remainder of roads are classified as residential.

Why does the snow plow leave a windrow at the end of my driveway? A windrow is a snow/ice deposit across driveways and laneways as a result of snow plowing operations. We will do our best at reducing the extent of these windrows; however, windrows will still result from our snow plowing operations. Please keep in mind that in order for the Municipality to maintain efficiency we cannot remove these windrows and these are the responsibility of the resident. Plow operators do not intentionally block driveways, but they have limited control over the amount and direction of snow that comes off the plow. The Municipality does not clear driveways.

Why can’t I push snow out onto the road, sidewalk or boulevard? The pushing or blowing of snow onto the municipal road allowance (which includes road, sidewalk, and boulevards) is prohibited. Depositing snow or ice on the street creates hazardous conditions and could result in an accident or injury. Make sure your snow removal contractor is aware this practice is unsafe and not permitted.

The plow has damaged my lawn, who will fix this? While operators try to be careful, some degree of damage is unavoidable. Sidewalk plows have to be large enough to move deep, heavy snow. Deep or drifted snow conditions often hide the sidewalk edge and, unfortunately, the plow can cause damage to grass. When the ground is frozen, damage is minimal; however, when the ground is not frozen, it lifts away very easily. To report any damage to your lawn, please call the Municipal Office. Staff will inspect the damage and make repairs in the spring.

Why does the Municipality remove snow in the middle of the night? When snowfall makes it necessary, the Town clears snow overnight to ensure roads are ready for morning rush hour. Snow removal operations are more efficient at night when there is little road traffic and no cars parked on the streets.

What can I do to help? Residents and drivers can help by doing the following:

• Be patient. In heavy snow falls, it takes us longer to get all our streets clear. • Stay alert, slow down, and stay in control when driving your vehicle. • Leave room for plows. When you see the blue flashing lights on the winter maintenance

equipment, remain a safe distance behind them. Also, never pass a snow plow. This is an extremely dangerous practice.

• Keep parked cars off streets overnight and during snowfall. Winter parking is prohibited on streets from 12 a.m. to 7 a.m. from November 1 to March 31 as per by-law 47-2017, section 7.13.

• Clearing ice and/or snow from walkways and public areas in front of your house, if possible.

• Keep fire hydrants clear and visible. • Keep your gas meter clear of snow and ice. • Make sure your garbage and recycling can be seen and is safely accessible to the Town’s

contractor at ground level. Keep a path from the road to your collectibles. If waste is placed on top of a snowbank, the top of your receptacles or garbage bag should be no higher than four feet off the ground. Safe placement of collectibles helps ensure pick-up and avoid worker injury.

• Throw snow on your lawn, not on the street. Shovelling snow back onto the street creates unsafe road conditions for motorists and is prohibited by the Highway Traffic Act.

What number do I call if I have a concern? Complete the Compliments, Concerns and Comments form to report any road or sidewalk issues.

To report a snow related concern on Town roads call 613-925-2812 ext. 6210, if before the hour of 7:00 a.m. and after the hour of 3:30 p.m., call 1-855-229-5764. To report a snow related concern on Provincial Highway call 1-855-557-8478.
