Municipal roads in Niagara-on-the-Lake make up a total of 255.95 kilometres. Just two passes with the snow plow is the equivalent of driving from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Sudbury! Did you know? The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake is responsible for clearing snow from a total of 78.16 kilometres of municipal sidewalks. Sidewalks are plowed after the storm has subsided, roads have been plowed, and a minimum of 75 mm (3 inches) of snow has fallen at one time. Sidewalks Reminder: In an emergency situation, you should always call 911 to access emergency services. If snow or ice is blocking access for emergency vehicles, emergency services will coordinate directly with the Town to clear the route or find the fastest alternative way to reach you. Parking Please refrain from parking on the street before, during or after a winter storm event to allow for proper plow truck operations. Parking tickets may be issued to vehicles in contravention of By-law 4308-09. It's important to watch out for our slow plows when their lights are flashing and they are spreading out materials. Did you know? "Why not keep the plow down at all times?" If you see a snow plow with its plow up on a road that hasn't been cleared, remember each truck is assigned to a specific route. The truck may be traveling to the beginning of a route to begin a sanding operation that is completed before plowing. Keep Track!

Snow Placement Kindly pile all snow from your driveway and walkways on your property, not the road. When clearing your driveway, pile snow on the right side if you are facing the street. This will help reduce the snow pushed back into your driveway by a snow plow.
