The City of Toronto says snow removal may take up to three weeks after Toronto was blanketed with heavy snow from back-to-baqck winter storms.
CBC News reports that between 16 and 23 centimetres of snow fell across Toronto over the weekend, which was in addition to 15 to 23 centimetres that fell last Wednesday, the city said in a news release on Monday.
Crews have been working 24/7 to plow roads and sidewalks, according to the release. Plowing is expected to continue into Tuesday before snow removal begins, Barbara gray, the city’s general manager of transportation services said.
Crews collect snow in dump trucks and move them to designated snow routes. While equipment can travel around 15km/hr when plowing snow, they can only travel 1 km/hr when removing snow, Vincent Sferrazza, director of operations and maintenance for transportation services said.
