We’re working to get you where you need to go safely this winter. New this winter, the City will deliver citywide sidewalk clearing. The City plows snow when five centimeters or more accumulates. The City clears priority infrastructure first. This includes:
* Priority roads: routes for emergency vehicles, transit and high-traffic volumes.
* Priority sidewalks: sidewalks located along major roads and bus routes and outside of schools, hospitals and long-term care homes.
Depending on how much it snows, it can take 12 to 24 hours to clear this priority infrastructure after the snow has stopped.
Residential roads are cleared next, within 24 to 36 hours after the snow has stopped. New this winter, residential sidewalks will also be cleared at this time.
Preparing for sidewalk clearing
To make sure the sidewalk in front of your home and your neighbour’s home gets cleared, it’s important that you do not park your vehicle over the sidewalk – this can prevent our crews from being able to clear the snow. To learn more about snow clearing in Mississauga, visit mississauga.ca/snow.
