Priority 1 &2 roads first

Snow removal operations underway in Grande Prairie

Nov 15, 2021 | 3:34 PM

With snow removal crews having fully transitioned into winter operations, crews with the City of Grande Prairie have begun sanding and plowing priority 1 and 2 roads amid the snowfall.

The work means the focus is currently placed on plowing and ice control along roads with high traffic volumes to ensure access for emergency vehicles and transit buses.

Plowing and sanding of priority 3 roads then happens when priority 1 and 2 roads are completed.

As for residential snow clearing, that occurs in two-week rotations when initiated by the city. Contracted snow removal crews work in residential areas from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the following neighbourhoods:

• Monday: Crystal Heights, Crystal Landing, Hillside, Ivy Lake Estates, Mountview, Summit, and VLA/Montrose.
• Tuesday: Country Club Estates, Countryside North and South, Country Club West, Patterson and South Patterson, Southview, and Signature Falls.
• Wednesday: Avondale, Cobblestone, College Park, Fieldbrook, Highland Park, Riverstone, Smith, and Swanavon.
• Thursday: Mission Heights, O’Brien Lake, Pinnacle Ridge, Stone Ridge, and Westpointe.
• Friday: Arbour Hills, Copperwood, Crystal Lake Estates, Crystal Ridge, Gateway, Lakeland, Northridge, and Royal Oaks.
