❄️ Snow Removal Priority Changes Coming
Which roads get plowed first when winter hits Rossland? 🚛
Council is reviewing the city's snow removal policy with some big changes to which roads make the priority list. Several neighborhoods could see faster snow clearing, while one area will lose city plowing entirely.
Meeting: September 15th
🆕 New roads added to priority plowing:
• Centennial Place (3rd priority)
• Ridge Road (3rd priority)
• Topping Terrace (4th priority)
• Small Alley of Butte (4th priority)
❌ Service reduction:
• Red Mountain Road section (parking lot to Caldera) will no longer be city-plowed
📋 Annual policy review - Last updated August 2024
How snow removal works: 🛣️
❄️ Minor: <4 inches ❄️ Major: >4 inches
Roads maintained to "passable condition" - not bare pavement. City balances safe passage for vehicles, pedestrians & emergency equipment within budget.
💰 Staff calls this a "reasonable allocation of resources"
Do you support these changes to Rossland's snow removal priorities - adding 4 new roads while removing city plowing from one Red Mountain Road section?
