Winter operations at a glance

Quinte West winter operations at a glance

During the colder months, staff monitor weather conditions and patrol roads 7 days a week, day and night, to ensure they’re ready to take action when a snow or ice event occurs. Road plowing is based on a priority system, with main arterial roads cleared first.

Our Public Works and Environmental Services staff maintain and clear snow and ice from:

- 1,490 lane kilometres of roads
- 90 kilometres of sidewalks
- 49 locations throughout the city, such as trails and City parking lots

To support our winter operations, during a weather event the City deploys:

- 32 snowplows
- 12 truck plows
- 8 sidewalk plows
- 4 sanding units
- 2 tractors with plows
- 1 wheel loader with a plow
