With a snow free forecast, city crews continue to tackle roads still covered by snow
LETHBRIDGE – Anyone driving around downtown Lethbridge this morning would’ve seen snowbanks masquerading as medians between lanes following the snow fall over the weekend.
When it comes to snow clearing for the City of Lethbridge, Transportation Manager Lee Perkins says crews always deal with Priority 1 routes first and then move into dealing with secondary routes.
But Perkins adds that following a priority system means whenever more snow starts to fall, they have to reset.
“So right now, crews are still working on Priority 1 routes and sanding in residential areas as well. We’re also working to clean up the downtown,” Perkins continued. “That’s why we windrow the snow to the middle of the road, and then we use blowers to remove it.”
