This page will be updated during all winter snow storms, and throughout the week following a snow event, in order to give Calgarians frequent updates on road conditions.

Before, during and after snowfall we provide updates and important information for Calgarians. The City responds to snow events using a Council-approved priority snow plan. This plan follows priorities set out by The City’s Snow and Ice Control policy.

Areas not cleared by The City

The City does not have Council approval or budget to:

  • Remove snow on residential streets, and most roadways.
    • Residential streets are always monitored following each snow event; crews will level ruts and apply materials as needed
  • Clear sidewalks bordering private homes or businesses; this is the responsibility of the home/business owner
  • Clear back lanes or alleyways
  • Clear snow on engineered walkways: the pedestrian/cycling thoroughfares located between private properties, usually with a barrier at either end to prevent motorized access
