owner.

a) Residential Sidewalks:

As per the Community Standards Bylaw, the City’s snow clearing bylaw allows residents 24 hours to have snow cleared from adjacent or adjoining properties.

Moreover, no person shall remove snow, ice and/or slush, dirt, debris and obstructions from any sidewalk or driveway by causing such material to be placed upon any other portion of the highway or other public place adjacent to such property.

Be a good neighbour – if you have a neighbour who has difficulty clearing snow from their property lend a hand.

b) Park Pathways:

Clearing of pathways in Parks is the responsibility of the City’s Parks department.

The Parks department clears snow from 35 kilometres of concrete sidewalks and 98 kilometres of asphalt pathway. If more than half an inch of snow has accumulated, the goal of the Parks department is to have the snow cleared within a 24-hour period.

If you notice a sidewalk or pathway which may have been overlooked or has drifted over after it has been cleared, please contact the Parks department.

City of Airdrie Public Works-Roads department is responsible for snow removal on City streets. Please review the City of Airdrie’s Snow & Ice Page for more information.

Residential snow and ice service levels (city wide) are a priority 5, which is the lowest priority. Short of spot sanding or main carriageway plowing (to minimize rutting) snow removal is not done unless there is extenuating circumstances.
