City Gears Up for Winter City crews and contractors are gearing up for the winter season. Beginning this week, more than 50 City and contractor snowplows, grad...ers and other winter maintenance vehicles will be out on the streets for their annual training exercise to familiarize themselves with their routes. The exercise will continue throughout November. These test runs allows crews to identify potential hazards, obstacles and operational challenges, before the winter weather arrives. The City’s Winter Control Plan, based on City Council approved service levels, includes details on snow plowing standards, sidewalks, snow removal and technology used for winter control. A chart outlining when crews are deployed, along with other information on winter operations, plow standards for main and secondary roads, the overnight parking ban, and more can be found at www.greatersudbury.ca/winter. Please remember to remove portable basketball nets from the road and off the shoulder during the winter months to allow snowplows and salt/sand trucks a clear path. Hockey nets should be stored away from the roadway when not in use. The City will issue advisories as winter weather and snow events happen. Updates and information is posted on the City’s website and shared via social media on Twitter (@greatersudbury) and Facebook. *************************** La Ville se prépare pour l’hiver Les équipes et les entrepreneurs de la Ville du Grand Sudbury se préparent pour l’hiver. À compter de cette semaine, plus de 50 chasse-neige, niveleuses et autres véhicules d’entretien hivernal de la Ville et de ses entrepreneurs circuleront sur les rues dans le cadre de l’exercice annuel de formation en vue de permettre aux opérateurs de se familiariser avec leurs circuits. L’exercice se poursuivra tout au long du mois de novembre. Cette formation permettra aux équipes de cerner les risques, les obstacles et les défis opérationnels éventuels, et ce, avant l’arrivée du temps hivernal. Le plan d’entretien hivernal de la Ville, lequel est fondé sur les niveaux de service approuvés par le Conseil municipal, comprend des détails sur les normes en matière de déneigement, sur les trottoirs, sur l’enlèvement de la neige et sur les technologies utilisées dans le cadre de l’entretien hivernal. Un tableau décrivant les situations dans lesquelles les équipes municipales sont déployées, ainsi que d’autres renseignements sur les activités hivernales, les normes en matière de déneigement des routes principales et secondaires, l’interdiction de stationner dans la rue durant la nuit en hiver et bien plus encore sont disponibles dans le site www.grandsudbury.ca/hiver. N’oubliez pas d’enlever les paniers de basket-ball de la rue et de l’accotement durant les mois d’hiver afin de dégager la voie pour les chasse-neige et les épandeuses de sel et de sable. De même, veuillez ranger vos filets de hockey à l’écart de la rue lorsque vous ne les utilisez pas. La Ville émettra un avis chaque fois que se présenteront des conditions hivernales et des chutes importantes de neige. Des mises à jour et des renseignements sont également publiés dans le site Web de la Ville et partagés dans les médias sociaux sur Twitter (@greatersudbury) et Facebook (www.facebook.com/greatersudbury). -30-
