Halton Hills, ON – In anticipation of the cold weather season, municipal staff have been busy preparing for snow with vehicle testing, employee training and ensuring adequate salt and sand supplies to maintain the roads.
Mayor Rick Bonnette commented that the Town’s response to heavy snow will be carried out per Council’s approved policies that set out the priority routes, focusing first on main arterial roads, then collector roads and finally, residential and rural roads.
“I want to remind residents that we will clear roads as quickly as possible,” said Mayor Rick Bonnette. “However, please be patient as it does take time for the plows to get to all of our local streets. Please know that we recognize the importance of road maintenance in supporting drivers’ safety.”
Bill Andrews, Commissioner of Transportation and Public Works noted that the Town adheres to a Winter Control Program to manage over 1,100 kilometres of roads, 158 km of sidewalks, and 27 municipal parking lots.
“There is a lot of work to do and staff operates in a sequential and planned manner,” he said. “As the Mayor noted, winter control is performed in priority sequence: Regional roads such as Trafalgar Road are cleared first; then arterial roads such as Guelph Street then collector roads like Delrex followed by local urban and rural roads.”
