In residential areas, it is required that snow and ice be removed each day in a timely manner after a snow fall. The City of Kamloops Road Right-Of-Way Bylaw requires that every owner or occupier of private property maintain all sidewalks adjacent to their property, to ensure sidewalks are free of accumulated snow and ice. Within each of the three categories above, priority will be given to hills over level streets.Ĭity crews try to plow snow off roadways without placing it onto sidewalks, but this still sometimes happens. As long as snow continues to fall, City crews will continue to address arterial roads for emergency vehicles and most traffic before moving onto the lower priority roads. Residential streets are not returned to a bare pavement condition. Our goal is to sand or plow residential streets as necessary within 36 hours of the end of a snowfall. Our goal is to maintain bare wheel paths in one lane as long as possible during a snow event and address these roads within 16 hours of the end of a snowfall.

Lethbridge Avenue, Springhill Drive, and Ord Road are examples of roads that receive second priority during and after snow events. Our goal is to maintain bare wheel paths in one lane as long as possible during snow events and to regain bare wheel paths within 4 hours of the completion of a snow event. Roads like Fortune Drive, Columbia Street, and the Summit Connector carry the highest volume of traffic and are the first to receive attention.
