Toronto is changing up its snow removal response this year. Here's what you can expect:
Salting is the city’s first step when snow begins to fall, and then plowing begins when the snow is five centimetres deep on expressways, five centimetres deep on major roads and transit routes, and eight centimetres deep on residential streets.
“We do ask that the residents hold off for approximately 14/16 hours by the time we deploy our vehicles. At that point they can certainly call 311 and request a service request for any issue that they may see that needs attention,” Transportation Operations and Maintenance Director Vincent Sferrazza said.
