March 8
Snow, snow, snow
The Township of King’s winter maintenance crews are still hard at work clearing snow that fell during the snowstorm between March 3 and 4. With total accumulations of around 25 centimetres, the removal of the snow has proceeded on a priority basis. This will include the removal of snow from Main Street in Schomberg later this week and cul de sacs the following weeks in each of the towns to provide room for snow storage.
King maintains an area of over 490 kilometres of roads, including 426 kilometres of paved and 64 kilometres of gravel roads with a network of both urban and rural roadways, sidewalks and ditches. Plowing occurs in priority sequence to ensure fire and emergency services have access.
Although most routes are completed with a 12-hour period, clearance times may be longer when snowfall is exceptionally heavy, many cars are parked on the street or crews are working during peak traffic times.
King’s snow clearing team keeps Township roads and sidewalks safe, while York Region manages the Regional roads in King, which includes winter maintenance. For snow clearing information in King, visit king.ca/snowremoval.
