Snow clearing is an important and critical job within the city.
City of Kamloops Streets and Parks crews work diligently to keep our streets safe with an annual snow clearing budget of approximately $1.9 million.
Effective snow clearing means that emergency personnel, motorists, pedestrians, and other road users can navigate city streets safely.
City streets are plowed on a priority basis, starting with arterial roads, followed by collectors and bus routes. Residential streets and cul-de-sacs are only attended to once the other streets are cleared.
DID YOU KNOW?
The City operates the following equipment for snow and ice control:
- 17 sand trucks with blades
- 2 liquid dispersal trucks
- 2 graders
- 4 sidewalk plows
- 5 loaders (attachments include standard buckets, loader plows, snowblower attachment)
- 6 pickup trucks with front plows
Contest Is Now Closed
