Winter Maintenance Operations
 Road Maintenance
The Town of Richmond Hill is responsible for clearing snow from 609 kms of roads. More than 23 snowplow and sanding units in the Town’s fleet respond to approximately 55 and 70 winter events, respectively, per season.
Primary roads, which are the main roads leading into neighbourhoods, are plowed and sanded first, followed by secondary roads. Dead ends, wide bends and cul-de-sacs present a unique problem for snow clearing and generally require a second piece of equipment. These road sections are cleared within 24 hours of a storm.
Safety is the Town’s first priority and your best defense is to drive with care, regardless of the road conditions.
Sidewalk Maintenance
The Town provides plowing and sanding services on all Municipal sidewalks during the winter months and every effort is made to have all sidewalks cleared within 12 hours after the cessation of a typical winter event.
