The City of West Kelowna has shared some suggestions on how to help plow drivers do their job more efficiently. They've also given the rundown of what it means to be on a Priority 1, 2 or 3 Route:
Here’s how residents of West Kelowna can help snow removal efforts:
Snow removal in West Kelowna is conducted on a priority basis. The top priority is clearing arterial and collector roads, transit routes and roads with steep grades. The second priority is school zones, school bus routes, town centres and population centres and the final priority is all other local roads. During times of heavy and persistent snowfalls, road crews must continue to focus on higher priority roads in the municipality, which can lead to a delay in snow removal on local roads. Residents on priority 3 roads are asked to be patient, these roads will be visited by the plow once all other roadways have been cleared.
