Due to a winter storm this past weekend that brought significant snowfall to the area, the City of Peterborough has declared a Significant Weather Event effective Monday.

Beginning on Sunday, a winter storm resulted in significant snowfall across the region. Snowfall continued into the early morning hours on Monday.

Snow accumulation has resulted in narrowed travel lanes and reduced bike lane widths. In addition, sidewalks at various locations require blower assistance or mechanical snow removal.

Crews are actively working through a prioritized list of winter maintenance operations. While these efforts are underway, the Significant Weather Event Declaration will remain in effect.

During a significant weather event, residents are advised to use caution and are reminded that typical winter maintenance service levels may not be met as crews respond to storm conditions.

Residents and pedestrians are asked to give snow-clearing crews the space needed to work safely and efficiently.

Peterborough Transit may adjust service, including the use of designated snow routes, in response to weather conditions.

The Significant Weather Event Declaration will be lifted once conditions improve and winter maintenance operations are able to return to normal service standards.
