The City salts and plows sidewalks;

• On Regional Roads
• Fronting municipal parks or property
• On walkways between roads and leading into schools
• On bridge overpasses
• On highly populated routes to schools

The city winter maintenance sidewalk fleet consists of 4 trackless machines, and several light trucks.

Bus shelters are cleared by a contractor through the Ajax Pickering Transit Authority. Super mailboxes are cleared by Canada Post.

Most municipal parks are not maintained in the winter, thus paths/walkways running through them are not cleared or salted.

Residents and business owners are asked to clear snow and ice from their sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall (in accordance with Snow By-Law 5597/99, as amended).
