City crews continue to remove snow from certain areas of Barrie to reduce snowbanks and keep the streets clear and passable for residents and emergency vehicles. Downtown snow removal operations will take place overnight February 23 and 24. Wednesday night, snow was removed from:
- Anne Street North (Edgehill to Livingstone W, east side)
- Anne Street North (Livingstone W to Cundles W, west side)
- Livingstone St (Anne N to Cundles E, both sides)
Crews will continue removing snow in different areas around the city each night, prioritizing arterial and collector roads, especially those with curb-faced sidewalks, narrowing curb lanes, and on-street cycling lanes. On Thursday night, we anticipate snow lifts in the following locations:
- Cundles Road East (Livingstone E to Duckworth)
- St. Vincent Street (Cundles E to Blake, both sides)
In addition to snow lifts, regular winter maintenance is taking place as follows.
Priority & Secondary Roads: City staff were dispatched at 2:30am to apply sand on hills, curves and intersections, which was completed at 5:30am.
Residential Roads: No winter maintenance taking place at this time.
Priority & Secondary Sidewalks: Crews are out blowing and sanding sidewalks. Priority sidewalk machines have been out since yesterday and secondary sidewalk crews were dispatched at 4am. These operations are in progress.
Parking Lots, Bridge Decks & Downtown: City staff were dispatched at 4am to salt parking lots, which was completed at 7:30am. The contractor was dispatched at 4am to shovel/salt bridge decks, which is in progress. Downtown snow removal operations will take place overnight February 23 and 24.
Please note: Residents are responsible for removal of driveway snow windrows. The city does not provide this service, and plows cannot control the amount of snow that leaves the end of the wing.
