After seven
salting operations of all City of Vaughan streets, followed by unexpected low
temperatures, Public Works staff have begun city-wide snow plowing. Windrow
services will follow. Residents and businesses are reminded to be cautious
around snow plows and ensure cars are not parked on the road.
The City of
Vaughan’s main concern remains the safety of residents.
Since the
onset of our operations, weather conditions continuously shifted between ice
pellets, snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain, which made the effectiveness of
operations to tackle this storm challenging. Staff will continue to monitor
weather forecasts and make the necessary decisions and adjustments to
operations, including considering plowing.
Residents
have asked why the City of Vaughan did not plow during this storm.
