Quinte West’s winter operations crew works around the clock to keep streets, sidewalks, trails and City parking lots safe.
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:
1490 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
8 sidewalk plows
12 truck plows
2 tractors with plows
4 sanding units
1 wheel loader with a plow

I want to thank ALL of the staff on the Public Works crew for the great job they do every day in Quinte West! Particularly in the winter when they have to work all hours. The last storm we had at Christmas was a great example of the dedication to their jobs to keep us all safe. Keep yourselves safe and Thank you. Please know that you are very much appreciated everyday.
