Public Works crews in the Municipality of Brighton continue to clear roads, sidewalks and parking lots following the recent snowfall, with downtown snow removal scheduled to begin Thursday, January 29, weather permitting.
The municipality says crews will start in the downtown core along Main Street from Prince Edward Street to Ontario Street, before moving through Elizabeth Street to John Street, Mount Hope Cemetery to Sanford Street, and Prince Edward Street from Elizabeth Street to the Industrial Parkway.
Residents walking downtown are asked to use designated crosswalks for safety and to avoid snowbanks created during snow removal operations.
While some regions across Ontario are experiencing salt shortages, the Municipality of Brighton says it does not anticipate any service interruptions. Public Works crews are using a sand and salt mixture on rural north end roads to improve traction in colder conditions and lower traffic areas. In urban areas, treated salt is being used to clear pavement more efficiently.
Municipal officials thank residents for their cooperation and patience as winter operations continue throughout the season. Crews say public understanding helps ensure roads and sidewalks can be cleared safely and effectively.
More information on winter operations in Brighton, including snow removal priorities and safety tips, is available on the municipal website at bit.ly/besnowprepared.
