Background
The Winter Maintenance Policy was passed by City Council in November 1999.
The Winter Maintenance Policy is developed by staff to ensure the City's roads and
sidewalks are serviced with the appropriate treatments in compliance with Ontario
regulation O.Reg 366/18 - Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways. The
Winter Maintenance Policy describes the strategy staff propose to achieve effective and
efficient compliance with Ontario regulations.
Amendments to the policy are proposed by staff annually for consideration and approval
by Council in the fall of each year. The proposed amendments are summarized in this
report with detail of how City Public Works staff and contractors will carry out winter
maintenance operations.

Objective and Goals
The Public Works Department will strive, as is reasonably practical, to provide safe and passable
winter road and sidewalk conditions for pedestrians and motorists within the City of Brockville.
Public Works winter operations will be guided by the level of service requirements defined in this
policy, utilizing the resources provided by the City of Brockville Council.
The standards set out in this document are based on the current version of Ontario Regulation
239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways and are supported by procedures
outlined in the Public Works Winter Maintenance Policy.
2
Policy
The Winter Maintenance Policy assumes that not all infrastructure need be maintained to the same
level of service depending on its role in the total transportation network and on other various
services the City provides, be they emergency or non-emergency. To simplify the determination of
levels of service, the various infrastructures listed below have been designated classes and
priorities. These are fully explained later in this Policy.
3
Responsibility
The responsibility for providing snow clearing, ice control and snow removal from the City's
infrastructure of 136 km of roadways (local classes only),107.7 km of sidewalks, 11 km of walkways
(includes the Brock Trail but excludes portions that are sidewalk), 9 parking lots serving city
buildings, 19 municipal operated public parking lots and the Brockville Transit bus stops, rests
entirely with the Public Works Division.
Snow and ice operations may be conducted on a 24-hour basis, 7 days a week. The Public Works
Supervisor will coordinate the overall snow and ice control clearing and removal operations and
determine the most effective operation to be undertaken from the procedures as developed by the
Public Works Division. The Public Works Division is prepared to shift from normal work procedures
any time it becomes necessary to institute snow and ice operations.
PURPOSE: Describe response times, conditions, and results.

Patrol & Monitoring
5 .1 Weather Monitoring
From October 1 to April 30, the current and forecasted weather will be monitored once
every shift or three times per calendar day, whichever is more frequent, at the intervals
identified in the Winter Maintenance Policy.
5.2 Road Patrol
The representative roadways identified in the Winter Maintenance Policy will be
patrolled a minimum of twice per day separated by at least eight hours during
weekdays and weekends. When roadways are icy or there is a substantial probability
of snow accumulation or ice formation, the patrol frequency may increase.

6.0 Declaration of a Significant Weather Event
Public Works may declare a significant weather event for an approaching or occurring
weather hazard with the potential to pose a significant danger to sidewalk, bicycle lane,
and roadway users.
A weather hazard that would warrant the declaration of a significant weather event is
determined by Environment Canada as meeting the criteria for the issuance of an alert
under its Public Weather Alerting Program.
When a significant weather event is declared, the notice will be announced on the City of
Brockville website, and on Facebook. Similarly, an announcement to declare the end of a
significant weather event will also take place through the same social media platforms.

Property Damage
During the course of operations through any given winter, a certain amount of damage to city and
private property may be incurred by snow clearing forces. In the event that sod damage is sustained
it will be restored by the Public Works Division using topsoil and seed at the earliest availability of
material (usually April). Any damage sustained due to salt brine inadvertently splashed onto a
boulevard or lawn during the course of the winter will not be treated or repaired by the City.

If a City plow or truck damages a mailbox either through direct contact or due to the force of the snow
rolling off the plow, the mailbox will be repaired or replaced by Public Works personnel with a standard
type mailbox as established by the Public Works Division. The City cannot replace decorative
mailboxes. A property owner who installs decorative materials on the city right-of-way does so at his
own risk.
10
Driveway Entrance Clearing
It can be expected that snow will be plowed into driveways and pathways as a normal part of roadway
and sidewalk snow clearing operations. Owners of properties which the driveways and pathways
service will be responsible for removal of the snow deposited in those entrances by city snow clearing
operations, under the By-law 078-2015 Property Standards.
11
Assistance to Private Property
Under no circumstances will a City employee be allowed to use a city owned vehicle to push, pull, or
tow a stranded private vehicle from a roadway or parking lot. The employee may, if a hazard exists,
use his radio to notify the Dispatcher of the hazardous condition. Likewise, under no circumstances
will a City employee use a City owned vehicle to perform any snow removal or ice control operation
on private or commercial property and the employee will not be allowed to use personal equipment
during working hours.

13 Bicycle Lanes
This section applies to treating ice formation on bicycle lanes on a roadway only and does not apply
to other types of bicycle facilities.
When a significant weather event is declared relating to ice, weather forecasts will be monitored and,
when deemed practicable, resources will be deployed to treat icy roadways. When the end of the
significant weather event is declared, the winter event response will continue until objectives in the
above table are met.
13.1
Designations
Winter priority bicycle routes have been established for winter maintenance during a winter event.
Priority bicycle routes may include a portion of the roadway designated as a bicycle lane or roadways
without designated bicycle lanes or a combination of both. These routes are maintained as part of
the roadway, such as the shared bike lane on Water Street.
All other on-road bicycle lanes are maintained in the winter in conjunction with the priority of the
adjacent roadway. Level of service for on-road bicycle lanes follows the roadway designation unless
the bike lane has been deemed "unmaintained" during the winter months.
The bicycle lane of King Street West from 90m east of Rivers Avenue (bike lane start) to the West
City limits will be closed from November 1 - March 31. Winter maintenance operations will not be
prioritized during or after a storm for the bicycle lane.

16 Snow Removal
Snow removal on roadways, parking lots and Transit bus stops will be carried out when
required, by the Public Works Division. Depending on the area and number of locations
to be undertaken, a decision will be made to implement a specific operation to carry out
the removal process. The different operations employed would vary in the amount of
service performed and the manpower and equipment required to perform them. The
Public Works Supervisor will determine if removal is required, and if so, which type of
removal will be utilized.
Class Designation
For snow removal operations, the City infrastructure has been divided into three classes
which determine the priority for servicing.
Designation
Description
Class 1
Roadway including transit stops
Class 2
Municipal public parking lots
Class 3
Parking lots serving City buildings
Roadways
Roadway snow storage conditions and intersection sight line requirements will be
assessed by the Public Works Supervisor following the completion of the post storm snow
clearing operations.
The qualifying factors for consideration for removal will be:
1)
If snow storage at the sides of roadway impedes normal traffic flow.
2)
If snow storage at intersections restricts required visibility sight lines.
Page 18 of 43
WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY
Winter Maintenance Policy - August 2023
16
3)
If snow storage restricts parking meter accessibility or significantly hampers
occupants of the vehicle from safely accessing the sidewalk (not applicable for areas
with boulevard greater than 1 meter wide) from the metered parking location.
4)
If additional snow storage required for:
a) sidewalk clearing operations.
b) cull-de-sacs/indented corners/dead end
Types of Removal
1)
Areas to be considered for full length removal are shown on Schedule J.
2)
All remaining urban areas to have snow blown back onto boulevard/lawn area of
city right-of-way.
3)
All intersections will be eligible for removal if qualifying factors are met.
4)
Rural areas will have snow winged back to provide additional snow storage capacity.
5)
Cul-de-sacs/indented corners/dead ends will be eligible for removal if additional
snow storage capacity is determined to be required. These areas are shown on
Schedule K.
Priority for Servicing
Priority Between Types of Removal
Priority between types of removal operations to carry out the 4 listed removal area types
would be separate but overlap in the time frame that they were ongoing, i.e:
1)
full length removal is usually carried out between 11:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m.
2)
areas to be blown onto lawns and winging back snow on rural road sections are
usually carried out between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
3)
removal at intersections could be carried out any time of the day or night.
4)
Removal at cull-de-sacs/indented corners/dead ends is usually carried out between
Page 19 of 43
WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY
Winter Maintenance Policy - August 2023
17
7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.
Therefore, all 4 operations may be ongoing in a 24-hour period.
Priority Within Types Of Removal
1)
Full length removal, if all areas starting at zero snow storage base, would be
undertaken in the following order:
Area 1 - King St. - Orchard to Edward
Area 2 - Remainder of on street metered areas
Area 3 - Remainder of areas south of CNR from Perth to North Augusta Road
Area 4 - Areas south of CNR and west of Perth
Area 5 - Areas south of CNR and east of North Augusta Road
Area 6 - Areas north of CNR
Severe weather conditions/storms may necessitate removal by roadway class.
2)
Areas to be blown back onto lawns or boulevards would be undertaken in the
following order:
Area 1 - South CNR
Area 2 - North of CNR and south of 401
Area 3 - North of 401
3)
Intersection Removal would be undertaken in the following order:
Area 1 - Intersections of Class 2 Streets
Area 2 - Intersections of Class 2 & Class 3 Streets
Area 3 - Intersections of Class 2 & Class 4 Streets
Area 4 - Intersections of Class 2 & Class 5 & 6 Streets
Area 5 - Intersections of Class 3 & Class 3 Streets
Area 6 - Intersections of Class 3 & Class 4 Streets
Area 7 - Intersections of Class 3 & Class 5 & 6 Streets
Area 8 - Intersections of Class 4 & Class 4 Streets
Area 9 - Intersections of Class 4 & Class 5 & 6 Streets
Area10 - Intersections of Class 5 & 6 & Class 5 & 6 Streets

Winging back of snowbanks on roads with rural cross section would be carried out
as per roadway classification for snow clearing and ice control operations.
5)
Removal at cul-de-sacs/indented corners/dead ends priority would be undertaken in
the following order:
Area #1 - south of CNR
Area #2 - north of CNR and south of 401
Area #3 - north of 401
Commencement of roadway removal operations will normally not commence until 24
hours after post storm plowing operations are completed.
Weekend removal operations will be kept to a minimum and be carried out for severe
conditions only.
Municipal Public Parking Lots
Removal of snow piled at designated locations within these lots will not normally begin
until 24 hours after post storm plowing operations have been completed. Removal
operations will only be carried out Monday to Friday/Statutory Holidays excluded.
Parking Lots Serving City Buildings
Snow piled at these lots will not normally be removed. Extreme conditions may
necessitate limited removal operations to be carried out.
Public Transit Stops
Snow removal at bus stops will only be commenced if the snow storage area of the stop
is exceeded, or if accumulated snow obstructs sight lines at intersections. Removal
operations will not normally commence until 24 hours after post storm plowing
operations have been completed. Removal operations will only be carried out Monday to
Friday/Statutory Holidays excluded.

Priority for Servicing (Roadways, Transit Stops, Parking Lots)
Snow removal from City roadways and municipal public parking lots will normally be
undertaken during the same time period. In severe weather, however, the following
prioritization of service would be initiated.
Class 1 - Roadways
- Transit Stops
Class 2 - Municipal Public Parking Lots
Class 3 - Parking lots serving City buildings.
Removal will not normally be carried out at parking lots serving city buildings unless
emergency conditions dictate.
17 Annual Monitoring
Winter storm analysis will be undertaken at the end of each winter season to provide a
basis for continuous improvement of the winter operations practices and procedures as
outlined in the current Winter Maintenance Policy.
18 Overall Priority for Snow Clearing Ice Control Operations During or After Storm
The Public Works Division has developed a priority list to be followed during a storm with
the overall efforts for snow clearing and ice control based on the following:
