Grande Prairie’s 40-below temperatures have created a disruption in snow-clearing services in the county.
According to the county, the originally scheduled clearing was set for February 4th in the Whispering Ridge and Westlake Village neighbourhoods has been pushed back due to “extreme weather conditions.”
The snow removal crews are scheduled to resume as normal on February 5th, depending on the weather and equipment.
Residents are reminded that whenever digital no parking signs along streets are visible, temporary parking restrictions are in place, and street parking is not permitted between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to ensure crews can work safely and efficiently.
Additionally, residents are asked to be mindful that piling snow onto roadways is illegal and could result in a fine, as it can hinder the snow removal process while creating a safety hazard on the roads.
