    City crews have been out each night this week removing snow from certain areas of Barrie to reduce snowbanks and keep the streets clear and passable for residents and emergency vehicles. The City prioritizes arterial and collector roads, especially those with curb-faced sidewalks, narrowing curb lanes, and on-street cycling lanes. 


    So far this week, snow was removed from:


    • Anne Street bridge
    • Anne Street North (bridge to Tiffin, east side Edgehill to Livingstone W (west side Livingstone to Cundles)
    • Ardagh Road (eastbound from Eaglestone to Fire Station 4)
    • Bayfield & Collier (corner)
    • Bradford Street (Dunlop to Tiffin, both sides, curb-faced sidewalk)
    • Dunlop Street (Anne to High)
    • Essa Road (Tiffin to Veterans, curb-faced sidewalk)
    • Harvie Road bridge
    • Livingstone Street (curb-faced sidewalk Kozlov to just before Stanley, and both sides Anne to Cundles)
    • Mapleview Drive (Sadlon Arena to Bryne)
    • St. Vincent Street (Hanmer to Cundles)
    • Wellington Street (Anne to Bayfield)

  2. Snow Clearing on Ward Dr. North of Big Bay

    Clear the snow banks on Ward Dr, North of Big Bay. Also does the plows really need to do 3 passes on the odd side of the road, while they do one pass on the even number side. The end of my driveway all the time is up to my knees and hard as wall making it hard to shovel, let alone to put all the snow, the banks are taller than 7ft with now where to dump it and all we get is the plows piling it up, give us a break a bit and help us out, we…

  3. . There is no house on opposite side. In this case the plow can change the direction to accumulate snow on opposite side

    I live on 50 Quinlan Road, L4M7B1. There is no house on opposite side. In this case the plow can change the direction to accumulate snow on opposite side. This is not related to any budgetary concerns. This is a simple fix which can be enforced with instructions to city snow plowing contractors. I take almost 1 hour to clean-up this snow. So, it’s better if city of Barrie implements above idea, when city has options to solve a problem without allocating extra resources.
