Crews will be addressing snow piles as time and weather permits.

This pile is melting causing the sidewalks and blocking the flow of melt water to run towards our properties causing ice build up on sidewalks, which in turn prompts bylaw to come around and issue warnings of ticket to be issued. When the street ice is 4 inches above the sidewalk, the water will naturally run to the lowest level. So fix the pile, and have some common sense when trying to enforce bylaws.

I have updated your file SRQ2015-000295 with this additional information.

Transportation appreciates your patience. With regard to the warning, you will have to request to speak to a representative with Enforcement Services by phoning 780-538-0300. We have put in a request to the Parks Department to clear the trail that runs through the green space of the school in back. This may help with run-off issues. Removal of Snow Piles in cul-de-sacs has now just begun and progress can be slow as we have over 500 piles throughout the City. In addition, work on these is weather dependant.

When we get a fresh dump of snow, equipment is focused to main roads, bus routes and residential roads to ensure driveability for commuters and residents. Unfortunately, piles in cul-de-sacs are low priority items in the work schedule. Supervisors do monitor these piles on an ongoing basis and Aquatera will notify the department of any issues. Please note this process can take time.

Hill is still in the middle of the road, it has had snow added to it all winter and has not removed once all winter. Please remove it it acts like a dam for water melting causing the alcove to become very icy.

Hill has been removed, thank you.

Thank you.
