Sidewalk clearing begins once all roads have been cleared. School zones, for the purpose of this policy, are the designated areas surrounding schools in the Town of Paradise, as illustrated below.
Sidewalk clearing in the Town of Paradise is completed in the following priority order:
Several factors determine when sidewalk clearing can begin and how long it will take to complete, including the amount and frequency of snow, the type of precipitation, and wind conditions. Only Priority One (1) sidewalks can typically be cleared on a regular basis.
Roads within school zones are given higher priority for both push back and sidewalk clearing. Ice control on sidewalks is completed as required depending on surface conditions. Push back of snow is completed on a priority basis as per normal snow clearing operations.
Where a snow event causes heavy accumulation, high drifting, or a combination of both, delays in sidewalk clearing may be experienced until specific equipment can be redeployed to remove snow in the area. Following continued or heavy snow events, once the Town determines that snow deposits on properties is excessive, snow removal via trucks may be required, resulting in a delay in sidewalk clearing. In these cases, immediate attention is still focused on school zones, however, delays in the completion of sidewalk clearing may occur.
