The County of Grande Prairie’s dedicated snow removal crews are ready to put over 30 specialized vehicles to use clearing snow and ice from more than 3,700 km of roads.
When a large amount of snow has fallen, the crews’ priority is to ensure high volume roads and school zones are cleared first, with all roads in hamlets and residential subdivisions cleared within a 12-day cycle, and all gravel roads cleared within a five-day cycle once 15 cm of snow has accumulated. Multiple snowfalls and frigid temperatures within a short period may affect the clearing cycle.
Residents are also asked to watch for digital No Parking signage at entrances to some hamlets and subdivisions. Vehicles must be moved from roadways between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. when the No Parking sign is lit and for the duration of temporary parking bans. Areas affected by temporary parking restrictions include:
- The Hamlet of Clairmont, from 100 Avenue to 116 Avenue
- Subdivisions of Whispering Ridge & Westlake Village in the Hamlet of Clairmont
- Subdivision of Wedgewood
- Subdivisions of Maple Ridge & Taylor Estates
- The Hamlet of Hythe
- The Hamlet of La Glace
