Winter Control Updates

Following the additional snowfall overnight and the drifting and blowing snow, the 24-hour clock has been extended. This will allow crews to address priority routes before returning to sidewalks, bike lanes, and multi-use paths.  

The 24-hour clock was activated as of 7:00 a.m. this morning. During this 24-hour period, individual customer service requests are temporarily paused to allow crews to focus on clean-up efforts. Following this 24-hour period, Operational Services staff will resume responding to individual concerns and service requests in priority order. 

City of Brantford Operational Services crews are continuing to clear roads according to the City’s Winter Control Plan, with routes cleared in priority order.  At this time, crews are working through their fourth pass on the Red Routes (arterial roads) and are 50 per cent complete. Blue Routes (collector roads) are 30 per cent complete. As Blue Routes are completed, crews will move into Green Routes (residential areas), sidewalks, and multi-use paths.
