Message to Residents

  • Even with the use of de-icing material, extra moisture may cause slippery conditions during peak driving times, especially on bridges where ice particles may be in the air above the river.
  • Be aware of changing weather that can affect road and sidewalk conditions.
  • Watch for blue and amber flashing lights on snow maintenance equipment. If you encounter equipment on the road, slow down, remain at least 15 meters (2.5 car lengths) behind, and be ready to stop.
