"Can‘t the city remove snow they put in my driveway?" A. Considering the large number of driveways in the city, it is too costly and time consuming to use additional personnel and equipment to perform this service. Driveways on corner lots often receive more snow. However, we do try to plow in such a way to minimize this problem. Q. "Why do plows go so fast and throw snow on my sidewalk?" A. Plows must maintain speed to throw snow off to the side. We ask drivers not to throw snow any further than necessary. However, some sidewalks are too close to the / curb to avoid getting snow on them. If this does happen we will remove this snow. Please call the Service Centre at 886â€"2310 to report these locations. 3. "What can you do to get people to shovel their sidewalks?" A. City byâ€"laws require property owners or occupants to shovel sidewalks. If you see an unshovelled walk that is dangerous to pedestrians, please call the Engineering Division at 747â€"8740. 2. "Why doesn‘t the city plow sidewalks?" . It is simply a matter of money. There are not enough funds available to pay personnel or buy equipment to remove snow from all sidewalks. A conservative estimate of the cost to clear all the sidewalks within the City using our plows is $30,000 per snowfall. .. "I am a senior citizen, what can the city do to help me keep my sidewalk clear?" â€" There are snow removal programs available to Seniors through the Dept. of Recreation and Culture (Home Support Services) snow clearing can be obtained at reasonable rates. For further information, call 579â€"6930. . "Why do city plows hit my mailbox all the time?" . We instruct drivers to be cautious near mailboxes. In most cases it is the weight of the heavy snow which moves mailboxes â€" not the plow. Some mailboxes are not fastened securely and therefore dislodge easily. Nevertheless, we will replace any mailbox which has been damaged by our plowing operations. . "I‘m concerned about our environment. Why don‘t you do more plowing and use less sand and salt?" _ Plowing and salting do not serve the same purpose. Both are needed for large snowfalls. Sanding and salting are much more economical for small amounts of snow. Q. 'Whenh!tO.K.topnrkonmyltroetmlnlï¬erlt‘l been plowed?" A. You can park on the street as soon as it‘s been plowed completely to the curb. Q. "Why must I pay such high taxes for what I feel is poor service?" A. We try to continually improve service without increasing costs. At the same time we ensure that the standards set by City Council about snow removal are met. Less than 1.5% of the City portion of your taxes goes to winter control activities. "Why isn‘t sand used more often so that salt usage can be curtailed?" The properties of salt are such that, if used properly, it will stop packing of the snow to the pavement surface which allows us to plow the road to bare pavement. Sand is used in rural areas usually where there are no storm sewers to be clogged up and also in extremely low temperatures to provide traction when the salt is not able to melt the snow. Youunbeauumdthatultisuuedonlyuitianmury omm 222220 Q. "Why don‘t your drivers put the blades down and plow snow down to the pavement?" A. We use gravity plows that can be mounted on the same trucks we use during the summer. These plows tend to ride on top of compacted snow. Q. "It seems like we‘re always plowed last. Why can‘t we ever be first?" A. Our drivers tend to begin and end in the same places.
