It 's snow problem!
One of the most welcome sights and sounds of winter in Camrose is when the Public Works crew of eleven hits residential neighbourhoods with heavy equipment to make life easier for drivers. Fighting against Mother Nature’s relentless flurry of freezing/thawing temperatures, snow squalls and high winds in recent weeks, plus the never-ending challenge of maneuvering through a maze of vehicles parked in well-signed and advertised snow-clear routes, the City of Camrose has hauled over 2,400 truckloads of snow from residential streets since November 2024. In addition, crews, with the support of contractors, have cleared the Downtown core three times this winter, the 48th Avenue meridian once, and priority roadways, the airport, schools and major intersections multiple times each. The same crew sands streets as required and moves snow away from key City sidewalks, crosswalks and bus stops, in addition to other civic responsibilities as delegated and prioritized.
Hats off to City crews for their dedication and thoroughness.
