Effective Date: September 9, 2015

Policy Statement:
The Grandview Municipality provides Snow Clearing services on all streets within the

Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to provide prompt and efficient level of snow clearing
service for all urban residents of the Grandview Municipality and to facilitate the
movement of vehicles during the winter months.
Definitions:
Major Snowfall - 15 cm (6 inches) or more within a twenty-four hour period

Priority Three Streets - Back Lanes
Procedure:
1.
Following a major snowfall:
a. When there is a signed Snow Removal Agreement with the Government
of Manitoba, Department of Transportation and Government Services for
snow removal from Main Street, then Main Street is considered first
priority.
b. All Priority One Streets are cleared immediately. Public Works will
attempt to have snow clearing on Priority One streets completed before
8:00 am.
c. All Priority Two Streets will be cleared following the completion of snow
clearing from Priority One Streets. Snow clearing may be completed
using overtime hours, if required, for more efficient removal.
d. Priority Three Streets will be cleared following Priority One and Two
Streets. These streets will be cleared during regular working hours.
e. Main Street sidewalks will be cleared at the same time as the Priority One
Streets.
f. All other sidewalks will be cleared when a public works employee is
available and is not required for other snow clearing duties.
2.
Following a gradual accumulation of snow:
a. The same procedure is used as when there is a major snowfall; however,
only Priority One streets will be cleared before 8:00 am.
3.
Snow from private properties shall not be pushed, shoveled or blown from any
residential or commercial property onto Municipal Roadways.
4.
Sanding and Salting is completed on an "as required" basis (as determined by
the Public Works Manager) to ensure a reasonable level of service for the
safety of motorists. Sanding and salting will not be done on any private
residential or commercial properties. Any sanding of roadways other than at
intersections should be kept to a minimum. When possible, snow clearing
should precede sanding operations.
5.
Sidewalk clearing in front of commercial and residential properties is the
responsibility of the property owner on an on-going basis.
6.
Snow hauling and the removal of ice from the streets requires approval from
Council before completed.
7.
The Public Works department will not perform any custom snow removal.
8.
Exceptions to this policy are allowed upon instruction by Council and/or the
Chief Administrative Officer.
