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 137.63 km of roadways (local classes only),112.55 km of
sidewalks, 16.1 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.

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.

Winter Parking Prohibition
7.1 On-Street Parking
Parking is prohibited on all streets between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.
during the months of November through March inclusive with the following
exceptions:
1) Parking will be permitted between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. until
the first significant snowfall occurs. At that time a notice will inform the
general public that the Winter Maintenance Parking By-law is in effect.
2) The City will inform the public by 6:00 p.m. on the day that Public Works
Division crews will be doing evening ice and snow clearing/removal operations
in specific areas of the City. Parking prohibitions will be changed in the
announced areas listed below to 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on the evening that
the work is to be undertaken:
A - City Wide
B - Area south of CNR
C - Area between CNR and 401
D - Area north of 401
The public will be informed prior to 6:00 p.m. via the City of Brockville website,
Facebook and other platforms.
The City has also established a winter maintenance bulletin telephone
number (342-8772 extension 600 #) to provide the public with up-to-date
information on our winter maintenance activities.
7.2 Parking Lots

By-Laws
Applicable By-laws passed for the purposes of supporting snow and ice control
efforts and other related By-laws which could be enforced during all out
emergencies are listed below:
By-Law 119-89 - Winter Parking Prohibitions - On Street and Parking Lots
By-Law 024-2022 - Care & Use of Streets
By-Law 127-85 - Lease Agreement - Arvic Realty (Loeb Lot)
By-Law 210-83 - Emergency Plan
By-Law 078-2015 Property Standards
9
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 of 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.

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.
12
Roadways
12.1
Parking Lots
Designation
Class 1
There are presently no Class 1 Roadways that the City of
Brockville is responsible for maintaining.
Class 2
Are the arterial roadways which carry traffic to and through the City,
as well as emergency routes for hospital and fire services. These
Class 2 roadways carry large volumes of traffic. Except for
emergency route roadways, these roadways are identified as Arterial
in Part 5, Section 5.2.2.2 of the City of Brockville's Official Plan
2023. Dead end stub portions of these roadways will be assigned a
lower priority level for Winter Maintenance operations in accordance
with the classification table of the Regulation.
Class 3
Are the Collector Roadways which carry both through and local
traffic. These Class 3 roadways are identified as Collector roadways
in Part 5, Section 5.2.2.3 of the City of Brockville's Official Plan
2023. Dead end stub portions of these roadways will be assigned a
lower priority level for Winter Maintenance operations in accordance
with the Classification Table of the Regulation. Public Transit bus
routes are also included in this second priority classification.
Class 4
Are local roadways which carry local traffic to a specific address. Any
roadway that publicly funded schools are located on, has main
driveway entrance onto, or connect the street that the school fronts
onto, to the closest arterial or collector roadway, would automatically
qualify for this classification. These Class 4 roadways are identified as
Local roadways in Part 5, Section 5.2.2.4 of the City of Brockville's
Official Plan 2023.
WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY

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.

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.
Winter Maintenance Policy - October 2025
15
WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY
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.
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.:
Winter Maintenance Policy - October 2025
16
WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY
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 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

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.
Winter Maintenance Policy - October 2025
18
WINTER MAINTENANCE POLICY
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.
