## How we keep the city movingWinter Maintenence Crew Icon
Here is what residents can expect during a snow event:
## Before the snow comes
In advance of a storm, City staff monitor weather conditions closely, and pre-treat and anti-ice City roads. At this time, residents are asked to keep their vehicles and parked cars off roadways to make room for snow clearing crews.
### While the snow is falling
The City of Brantford is responsible for maintaining and clearing nearly 1,400 lane kilometres of roadways. During a winter event, the City's Operational Services crews plow and salt routes in priority order. Red Routes (Arterial Roads) are highest priority, followed by Blue Routes (Collector Roads) and then Green Routes (Residential Roads). Use our address look-up tool to Find Your Snow Clearing Route.
### After a Snowfall
Once a snow event ends, City crews focus on complete snow removal in the Business Improvement Area (BIA) downtown, as well as clearing sidewalks fronting City-owned properties and bike lanes. Clean-up of snow and ice build-up on major routes continues and once the snow stops falling, the City activates a 24 hour clock whereby service requests to Operational Services are temporarily paused while crews focus on clean-up efforts. Once a snow free 24-hour period transpires, Operational Services staff resume responding to individual concerns and service requests in priority order.
