For updates on our winter maintenance activities, visit our snow clearing news and notices page.
RHPlows is an online app that allows you to track the snow removal activities in your neighbourhood. It shows you where our road and sidewalk plows are working and where they've been. It also provides other important details, like plow-dash cam images and weather data from Environment Canada.
In some situations and depending on traffic conditions, road and sidewalk plows may appear to be stopped at times. There might be a temporary gap in communication from the vehicle. There is also a short delay before data is displayed online.
Of note, RHPlows displays information about Richmond Hill's municipal road and sidewalk plowing operations only.
Please note that not all windrow machines may appear on Track My Plow at this time.
Local roads are maintained by Richmond Hill with the goal of clearing snow within 16 hours after the end of a winter storm. Our services also aim to clear all sidewalks 14 hours after a snowfall. Primary roads are plowed and salted first. These are the streets leading in and out of neighbourhoods. Secondary roads are cleared after the primary roads.
Dead ends and wide bends are cleared within 24 hours after the end of a winter storm. It's important to keep these areas clear, because they can cause problems for other snow removal services.
Major roads, such as Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street, are Regional roads that are maintained by York Region.
