After days of snowfall, the City of Barrie is digging out once again. Each night, city crews are removing snow from certain areas of the city to reduce snowbanks and keep the streets clear and passable for residents, as well as emergency vehicles. Snow that is removed is taken to the Operations Centre, located at 165 Ferndale Drive North.
So far this week, snow was removed from Dunlop Street (Anne Street to High Street), Bradford Street (Dunlop Street to Tiffin Street, both sides, curb-faced sidewalk), Ardagh Road (eastbound from Eaglestone Lane to Fire Station 4), Essa Road (Tiffin Street to Vererans Drive, curb-faced sidewalk), Harvie Road (bridge deck), Mapleview Drive (Sadlon arena to Bryne Drive), Bayfield Street (Collier Street to Royal Bank), Livingstone Street (Kozlov Street to just before Stanley Street, curb-faced sidewalk), Anne Street Bridge, Anne Street (Bridge to Tiffin Street), Wellington Street (Anne Street to Bayfield Street), and St. Vincent Street (Hanmer Street to Cundles Road).
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. Please note that 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.
