Episode Details

The city is rolling out a bold new snow and ice removal plan to handle shifting winter conditions, including bringing back calcium chloride on major roads and slashing residential clearing time from 14 to 8 days. With more freeze-thaw cycles causing slicker streets despite less snow, officials are also targeting back lanes, enforcing parking bans more consistently, and prioritizing accessibility for mobility-impaired residents. After last winter’s record-breaking snow and thousands of emergency calls, the city cleared most main roads on schedule but lagged on side routes — now they’re combining school zone and residential plowing to boost efficiency. Spare parts and smarter staff scheduling are already in place, even as budget details remain under review — all part of a push to deliver a smoother, more reliable winter service package.
