Winter Maintenance Reminders

Winter Maintenance Reminder

The City of Armstrong is preparing for snow and ice control. We need your help to ensure snow removal is completed quickly and effectively.

Street Parking: Do not park on any city streets during a snowfall. Please wait until after all snow clearing activities are completed. Violators may be subject to enforcement, including tickets and/or impounding.

Snow Removal: Do not take the snow from your driveway or sidewalk and push it onto the public portion of the roadway.

Snow Removal for Driveway Ends: Driveway Ends that are candidates to have a windrow cleared are those that are on the opposite side of a sidewalk on a street that have been plowed one way and only if a windrow height exceeds 30 cm OR consists of “heavy” or “wet” snow or “frozen lumps”.

Commercial Properties: Owners are required to clean and apply abrasives and/or chemicals to mitigate potential slips and falls. This includes the walking space between parking spaces, falling snow and ice from any overhead structures.

Placement of Garbage and Recycling Containers: Please place your garbage and recycling containers off the street or sidewalk.

Residential Property Owners: Clean the sidewalks when snow accumulation is less than 5cm to reduce the build-up of compacted snow. Residential owners are also required to apply abrasives and or chemicals to mitigate potential slips and falls.
