Grande Prairie snow removal crews have fully transitioned into winter operations and crews are actively sanding and plowing priority 1 and 2 routes in response to the ongoing snowfall.

The City of Grande Prairie conducts snow removal in three different ways:

Priority Road Clearing - Plowing and ice control of roadways with high traffic volumes (priority 1 and 2 roads) to ensure access for emergency vehicles, transit buses, and residents. Plowing and sanding of priority 3 roads occurs upon completion of priority 1 and 2 roads.

Residential Road Clearing - Plowing and ice control of residential roads when snow accumulates or when there is a significant snowfall. Occurs in a two-week rotation only when initiated.

Rural Service Area Clearing – Clearing and ice control of 40 km in the Rural Service Area on an as-needed basis.
