THUNDER BAY — City crews are expected to take three to four days to complete the job of clearing snow from streets, sidewalks and recreational trails.
The weather system that brought 15 to 20 cm of snow to the Thunder Bay area has moved on.
In an update issued shortly after 8:00 a.m. Monday, the city said crews began plowing priority routes including arterial, collector and transit routes at 2:00 a.m., and were able to complete that task.
They then turned their attention to residential street plowing, which should be finished by Wednesday.
Plowing of sidewalks on arterial, collector and core area street sidewalks started at 3:00 a.m. and was expected to be completed later in the morning.
The city said residential sidewalk and trail plowing would start immediately after, and was expected to be done by Thursday.
Crews will also be applying sand and salt on streets and sidewalks throughout the week as required.
