The City’s Public Works crews continue to address conditions following Wednesday's snow flurries, which came after significant freezing rain on Dec. 28 and 29 and a snowstorm on Dec. 26.
The City of Peterborough’s Public Works crews deploy 18 plow trucks, 11 sidewalk plows, two graders, seven loaders and backhoes and four light sanding units, with winter abrasives and de-icers. Crews maintain 1,028 km of roads, 412 km of sidewalks, 44 km of trails, 29 Municipal Parking lots and 650 bus stops are cleared.
Road users and pedestrians are asked to leave crews the space they need to safely and effectively clean city streets, sidewalks and trails. Residents are asked not to park on City streets during the storm to ensure effective snow clearing. During snowstorms, free overnight parking is available in municipal parking garages and surface lots. Drivers can use the parking garage entrance ticket for a free ride home on Peterborough Transit.
