Winter Sidewalk Maintenance
Sidewalks can have the same challenges in the winter as roads do when temperatures fluctuate between mild and freezing temperatures. When pedestrians walk on the soft snow, it creates bumps and foottracks on the surface. This requires additional sidewalk plowing to keep the surface of the sidewalks smooth. Removing soft snow must be done before the colder temperatures set in and freeze the soft snow.
Sidewalk Winter Maintenance – Pilot Project
The City of Greater Sudbury has added three additional municipal tractor operators to its complement of 21 in a pilot project created to enhance winter sidewalk service levels. Similar to how the downtown sidewalks are maintained each business day, regardless of weather conditions, the additional sidewalk plow operators will maintain sidewalks within their respective maintenance sections on a rotational basis during business days. This service will be delivered on a continuous basis over and above what the existing sidewalk maintenance staff provide.

Bus Stop Plowing
If your bus stop has not been cleared following a winter storm, please wait at a cleared area closest to your bus stop and signal the bus as it approaches.
