Snow & Ice Control Standards
When winter weather hits, here’s how snow clearing works for pedestrians in the Village of Bible Hill:
Top Priority (cleared within 12 hours after snow ends):
• Fire station parking lot
• Sidewalks on arterial and collector roads
• Sidewalks near school drop‑off
Next Priorities:
• Local road and subdivision sidewalks (cleared within 24 hours after snow ends)
• Bible Hill Recreation Park parking lot (cleared as last priority)
What sidewalks may look like:
Generally cleared and passable, but potentially slippery areas and residual snow and ice may remain
About salt & sand:
• Salt effectiveness depends on temperature and conditions (less effective below ‑5°C).
• Sand is not widely applied and used only in limited, exceptional cases.
Important to know:
• No winter maintenance is provided on gravel parking lots, trails, trailheads, and all other areas.
• Storm intensity, duration, and temperature can affect timelines.
• Provincial and private snow clearing impacts sidewalk conditions - even immediately following snow clearing by the Village.
• These are service goals, not guarantees.
Still an issue after timelines pass?
