Know Before It Snows Winter weather is unpredictable, but preparation helps keep Morinville moving safely.

Understanding how snow removal works before the first snowfall can make a big difference for everyone.

When is snow clearing triggered?

When will my street be cleared?

Snow clearing depends on snowfall amounts and road conditions. Light snowfalls may only require sanding, while larger snowfalls trigger additional clearing operations. Full service levels are available in Morinville's Snow and Ice Control Policy at morinville.ca/snow.

Residential streets fall under Priority #4 and are cleared after main roads, arterial roads, emergency routes and neighbourhood collector roads.

This helps keep the busiest routes safe and accessible during winter weather.

How will I know when my street is going to be cleared?

Why was snow left on my street after clearing?

Follow us on Facebook, visit morinville.ca/snow and watch for signs in your area.

During snow clearing, crews may push snow into temporary piles called windrows. This allows roads to be cleared and reopened as quickly as possible, with snow removal taking place later.

HOUSEHOLD WASTE

HOUSEHOLD WASTE

SCINAGRO

Where should my carts and bags go if my street is being cleared?

Should snow clearing occur on the same day as curbside waste collection, residents must place their carts and blue bags in the center of their driveway (30 cm or 1 foot from the end). Carts cannot be on the road, sidewalk or in the gutter during snow clearing.

52 I morinville.ca/program-registration

When is it safe to park on my street again?

Watch for snow removal signs

No Parking signs are placed at least 24 hours before crews arrive. Vehicles must be removed from the street by 7 a.m. to avoid ticketing or towing.

Free sand

Once your street has been cleared, the No Parking signs will be removed and parking may resume.

Vehicles that remain parked on streets during snow clearing events will slow down operations and unnecessarily cost taxpayers extra money.

From November 1 to March 31, free sand is available to help prevent slips on icy sidewalks. Pick up sand at the Meunier Maintenance Building (10310 107 Street).

Please bring your own pail and shovel.

Homeowner’s Responsibility

72 HOURS

Snow and ice must be cleared from sidewalks bordering residential property within 72-hours of a snow event. Non-residential sidewalks must be cleared within 48-hours.

!

Shovelling snow into the street is not permitted. This contributes to unsafe driving conditions and leads to an overall cost increase to road maintenance.

If there is a hydrant near your home, please clear a path a minimum clearance of 1 metre for emergency access.

How can I report a concern related to snow and ice?

During high volume times when snow clearing activities are taking place, the quickest and most efficient way to report a concern is by visiting morinville.ca/report-it on our website. Concerns will be reviewed in the order that they are submitted and automatically placed in level of priority.
