The City of Grande Prairie has declared a two-week residential snow clearing rotation, starting Wednesday, February 26, in Week A neighbourhoods: Avondale, College Park and Swanavon.

"Residential snow clearing is being carried out to improve road conditions as melting compacted snow has created challenges on residential streets," says Wade Nellis, Director of Engineering and Transportation Services. "Crews will be removing ruts and excess slush to smooth out the roads. We appreciate residents’ patience as we work to make streets more navigable."

How residential snow clearing works

Residential snow clearing is a contracted service that only happens when declared by the city. It is not ongoing but follows a scheduled two-week rotation. Once declared, clearing starts in Week A neighbourhoods on their designated days and continues in Week B neighbourhoods the following week. Each neighbourhood is cleared the day before its scheduled garbage collection day in its respective week.

This declared rotation will be completed in full before residential snow clearing ends. If more clearing is needed later in the season, the city will issue a new declaration.

Street parking during snow clearing

No-parking signs will be posted in areas scheduled for clearing. To help crews complete their work efficiently, please move vehicles off the street before clearing begins. Vehicles left on the street may be ticketed or towed.
