Some advice to help ease the way for snow removal crews
The City of Laval’s snow removal crews were still hard at work earlier this week, removing the latest covering of white stuff that mother nature left behind. In all, last week’s storm was the third major snow event the city has had to contend with this winter.
Read the signs
As always, officials with the city are reminding residents that in order to maximize the efficiency of snow removal operations, the public’s cooperation is needed, especially with regards to street parking and allowing snow removal crews to get their job done.
With that in mind, snow removal warning notices and signs should always be heeded. The best thing to do on days when snow crews are scheduled to pass along your street is park in your own driveway.
Careful when parking
If parking on the street before crews are scheduled to pass, your vehicle should be parked around 30 centimetres from the curb so that the sidewalk snow plow can pass by safely, while being careful not to obstruct street traffic passing by. It is also recommended to shovel snow onto your own property, rather than onto the street or sidewalk. As well, garbage, recycling and kitchen waste bins should be placed just on the edge of your property where they won’t interfere with snow removal operations.
