Why does it take so long for my street to be plowed? Residential roads are plowed to centre bare condition, meaning the plow will create one lane for vehicular traffic. On main roads, you may see the plow clear one side of the street before it is able to safely turn around and return to plow the other half of the street. Why did the plow only clear one side of my street? View inquiries about snow removal on your residential streets. Unfortunately, snow left at the bottom of driveways is unavoidable and the City will not clear it. The only place to move the snow is onto the boulevard, which includes driveways. The priority of our work crews is to clear the road for travel. When you shovel your driveway, place the snow "downstream" (on the right side when facing the road) so your driveway won't be filled in the next time the plow comes by.Ĭan plows minimize the amount of snow left at the bottom of my driveway?
