Winter Snow Removal

The City of Armstrong reminds residents to prepare for the snow clearing activities. 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. 

 

Snow Removal: Do not take the snow from your driveway or sidewalk and push it onto the public portion of the roadway. The extra piles of snow can create a driving hazard for passing motorists. 

 

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

 

The City of Armstrong Operations department thanks residents for your co-operation. For more information regarding snow removal and road maintenance during winter conditions, please review the Winter Maintenance Policy in the link below.
