As usual, the City of Camrose has been proactive in clearing main traffic routes and side streets as well, of winter's white stuff, plus salt and sand laid down for traction. Keeping streets bladed and having snow hauled to dump sites makes for more friendly and safer seasonal driving. However, the task of clearing provides immeasurable benefit in a couple of additional important ways. Prudent snow removal means the chances of flooding from a quick spring thaw are greatly reduced. Equally important is that timely snow removal actually extends the life of all paved roadways. In the weeks of spring, daytime temperatures typically mean melting which takes place on the dark-colored pavement. Water seeping down into cracks or pavement imperfections then freezes at night meaning cracks open further; pavement then heaves or potholes develop. While numbers have not been tabulated for this year’s removal program, during the 2017/18 season, the City moved over 60,000 cubic yards (5,000 tandem truckloads) of snow from City streets. A private firm was contracted for a similar amount.
