Snow removal Operations

Spreading

Abrasives and melting agents are spread on public roads, in keeping with environmental standards.

Where and when?

  • On main arteries, in commercial and industrial areas and on steeper slopes and those presenting a greater risk from the onset of precipitation.
  • On other streets, sidewalks, multifunctional trails and close to schools, as needed.

Clearing

The snow is pushed to each side of the public road to clear the roadway.

Where and when?

First on priority streets such as main arteries, entrances to town, the town center and steeper slopes, then all streets in the municipality, after an accumulation of more than 5 cm of snow.
On sidewalks and trails, after an accumulation of more than 2.5 cm.

Blowing

Snow is blown onto public property and the edge of private property, when space permits. Otherwise, it is blown onto trucks and transported to a snow depot.

Where and when?

First on main arteries and collector roads with sidewalks, and around schools, when snow accumulation is more than 10 cm and when operations underway or future operations so allow.
On the rest of the road system, as needed. Blowing snow onto private property can damage some plants. Visit stbruno.ca/protection-des-vegetaux
to ensure your plants are protected.
