***Construction will begin in January and should take approximately two months.  The community hall will not be available for rentals or programs for January and February.***

 Winter Snow Removal.....

The City of Edmonton is committed to keeping streets in good winter driving condition throughout the snow season, and crews work around the clock to achieve that goal.

 There are a number of changes that have been implemented this winter:

  • A seasonal parking ban has been created that will impact residential bus routes. The City of Edmonton will call a ban with a minimum of eight hours notice. At that time, vehicles must be moved from those routes with the ‘Seasonal Parking Ban’ signs; those not moved after the eight hours will be tagged and towed.
  • Once priority routes are plowed, crews will move into residential areas to blade to a 5 cm snow pack. Even if there is another snow event that requires additional work on priority routes, crews will NOT be removed from residential areas until the blading cycle has been finished.
  • If the snow pack on residential streets cannot be maintained at 5 cm, crews will plow down to bare pavement where required.
  • Windrows will be kept to a minimum on residential streets and will not be removed; every effort will be made to keep them at a maximum height of 30 cm in front of driveways. If crews have to plow down to bare pavement, windrows will be higher and there may be some delay before skid steers are able to clear driveways.
  • Windrows will be removed on a regular basis from school drop off zones, seniors centres and Edmonton Transit bus stops.

 Stay in the Know About Snow!

You can find out when the City calls a bus route parking ban in several ways. Media announcements will be made, information will be on the City of Edmonton website, and postings will be made via the City of Edmonton’s
Facebook page and Twitter account. You can also sign up for free, confidential email notification by visiting (click on this:) winter roads and clicking on Subscribe to Roadway Alerts.’

 Information on residential street clearing will be available through the City of Edmonton’s website via our new interactive map. By visiting http://www.edmonton.ca/transportation/roads_traffic/winter-roads.aspx and clicking on ‘Residential Snow Plowing Schedule,’ you can select the Snow Clearing Map tool and enter your address. The system will then give you an exact date that work will start on in your area.

For those without computer access, the same information about parking bans and residential street maintenance can be accessed by calling 3-1-1. You can also advise 3-1-1 about specific issues of concern related to winter road maintenance and that information will be forwarded to the appropriate department.

What are the Dog Gone Rules?   

For health reasons for our rink operators and for the safety of our users of the areas inside the rink boards during the non-winter usage, PLEASE - DO NOT RUN YOUR DOGS in the boarded rink area.       

Are you uncertain what the rules are for walking dogs in the City of Edmonton ?

 The City of Edmonton has very specific rules for dogs set out in the Animal Licensing Bylaw and the Parkland Bylaw. Rules for dogs are in place for the safety of your community and the safety of your pet.

 It’s pretty simple…

          ·In the City of Edmonton, you must license your dog.

          ·You must clean up your pet’s defecation.

          ·You can walk your dog on parkland so long as your dog is:

─                          - leashed and on a trail;

─                          - leashed and on a boulevard;

─                          - leashed and in an area governed by signage permitting dogs (our rink area is off limits).

Outside of designated off-leash areas, dogs must by on a leash at all times.

For everyone’s safety and at all times, dogs must be kept at least 10 metres from any playground, sports field or picnic site. Your dog must be on a leash no longer than 2 metres in length.

 Visit www.edmonton.ca/parks and click on Off Leash Park Sites for more information.           

 

AND>>>>>>  NO GOLFING!! no practicing golf, no golf balls, clubs or usage thereof in the park.
