Snow Removal
The Public Works Department is responsible for snow and ice control on City streets and sidewalks.
Accumulated snow will be cleared from approximately 130 km of Steinbach streets and 56 km of Stenbach pathways as needed and as soon as possible after significant snowfall events. Sanding and salting of streets and sidewalks will occur as conditions warrant.
Residents also play an important role in snow clearing efforts and are required to keep parked vehicles off of all city streets during and after a snowfall event, until such time that streets can be cleared.
During the initial snow plowing that follows any snowfall, if windrow heights warrant, driveway windrows will also be cleared. Otherwise, property owners are responsible to clear snow windrows from driveways as street clearing operations are in progress.
Please note: the ridge of snow left across driveways resulting from the clearing of sidewalks is not cleared by City crews.
Snow on a commercial property must be removed from the site or stored on the property. Pushing or depositing snow from private or commercial property onto public roadways or right-of-ways is not allowed.
Icy road, intersection or sidewalk conditions should be reported to the Public Works Department which will then take appropriate action.
