Just as the groundhogs in Canada announced today that we are looking at a shorter winter season, the meteorologists have told us there is another blast of winter snow heading our way. As I look out the window of my home office, I only see rain/wet snow falling, we’ve been told another 15-20cm is on the way over a longer period of time compared to the last one which had 31cm fall in less than 24 hours.
Our snow program is in place and the plows will be deployed as soon as we reach 5cm falling and main regional/arterial roads will be plowed first and then move into the subdivisions etc for clearing.
In a recent update to residents that due to the large amount of snow already on the ground and what is to come, people who have difficulty with the number of cars and finding parking can use a number of our town parking lots temporarily during this storm. Parking considerations will be postponed during this and any other major snowfall.
Here are a list of the parking lots available for temporary parking while considerations are not being allowed.
- Ford Neighbourhood Park (1400 Leger Way)
- Optimist Park – East lot (881 Savoline Blvd.)
- Coates Park North (776 Philbrook Dr.)
- Willmott Park (820 Asleton Blvd.)
- Scott Neighbourhood Park East (143 Scott Blvd.)
- Clarke Neighbourhood Park North (1203 Laurier Ave.)
- Clarke Neighbourhood Park South (1170 Laurier Ave)
- Beaty Neighbourhood Park South (801 Bennett Blvd.)
- Lions Sports Park (Ellis Crescent Lot)
- Sunny Mount Park (255 Ruhl Dr.)
- Sherwood District Park (6125 Main St.)
The best way to stay informed of the progress of plows & timing of roads being cleared is to follow the Town of Milton on social media Twitter and Facebook accounts.
- Website
- Social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter)
- Plow Tracks to see what roads have been serviced
Of course you can (and should) follow me on both Twitter and Facebook as I will be relaying as much information as possible.
Stay safe everyone. Hopefully this won’t be as bad as before and stay tuned for more.
