The City of Kimberley has approved a new snow and ice control policy to improve winter maintenance.
City staff said the policy and plan helps better establish a standard of care and limits the city’s liability.
Some of the changes include adding new subdivisions into plowing areas, updating one-way and split plowing locations and changing the winter shift working days.
Roads manager Ryan Reynolds said they are reviewing recommendations from the accessibility advisory committee and will be implementing ideas where they fit.
“We are looking at ways on how to collect that into our plan and policy to see what’s feasible and what’s not,” he said.
“Some items naturally made it in and some we’re seeing how we can navigate getting them in.”
The policy is reviewed annually, but can also be amended at any time if needed.
The full policy and plan can be found here.
