Snow Clearing Update - 6:00 p.m. Friday, February 21, 2020

Throughout this weekend (February 22-23), work will be ongoing with street widening and sidewalk clearing operations:

Street widening is scheduled for St. Thomas Estates and clearing of cul-de-sacs in the Trail’s End and Adams Pond areas
Sidewalk clearing is scheduled for Topsail Road and Priority 2 sidewalks.

This work may be altered should weather conditions change and crews have to address immediate needs.

This winter has brought record snowfalls to the region, which is impacting snow clearing work. Due to the high volume of snow, crews are not able to widen streets as much as has been possible during past winters. We are continually monitoring weather and road conditions, and planning snow clearing operations accordingly. During and after a weather event, street widening stops as crews must deal with the immediate conditions (snow and / or ice). This week, street widening work was also impacted by mechanical issues with the equipment. Based on the forecast for this weekend, we anticipate crews being able to complete the scheduled street widening work.

We do thank residents for your continued understanding and cooperation as we complete snow clearing operations.
