Over the years, the “Three Rs” – reduce, reuse and recycle – have not just become a familiar part of our

• Did you know that the City's main salt routes are maintained by 21 vehicles covering
  1067 lane kilometers of road at a cost of approximately $12,000/hour
• Snow Removal in The City of Windsor is governed by policies set out by City Council
• Expressway, Arterial and Collector roads are cleared first
• Residential streets are only cleared if the snowfall exceeds 10cm (4in.).

    • Be patient. In heavy snowfalls it takes us longer to get all our
      streets cleared.
    • Stay alert, slow down, and stay in control when driving your vehicle.
    • Keep parked cars off streets wherever possible.
    • Shovel your sidewalk. City By-law 8544 requires all residents to
      clear the snow from sidewalks abutting their property.
    • Keep fire hydrants clear and visible.
    • Throw snow on your lawn, not on the street. Shoveling snow back
      onto the street creates unsafe road conditions for motorists and is
      prohibited by the Highway Traffic Act.
