SNOW REMOVAL UPDATE:
Public Works crews were very busy clearing our roads today.
Our staff have been focusing on the priority routes as these are the main accesses and collector roads in Drayton Valley and help us move around the community and around the school areas. It's also important to ensure that these roads are cleared first to allow emergency vehicles easy access to the main roads/highways and the hospital if necessary.
We understand that we've received alot of snow in a short period of time and it has made driving in the residential areas a bit tricky; don't worry, we're coming!
The first residential cleaning will start in the SW quadrant; we will keep you informed as to when snow clearing can be expected in your neighbourhood.
WED., DEC. 11
These areas are scheduled to be wind-rowed tomorrow:
RESIDENTIAL SNOW REMOVAL: SW QUADRANT
54 Ave and 45 St by the Pool
45 St south (L shaped road)
Northview gardens
Remaining priority 2 sections in SW quadrant
REMINDERS:
To assist us, please obey the no parking signs we are installing ahead of our crews and remove your vehicles ensure that our crews and equipment can safely and efficiently remove the snow on the road. Also please do not push your snow out onto the street as this is a ticketable offense under our bylaws and provincial statue. And don’t forget, we will be towing vehicles!

Good job everyone! I seen a few snow truck removal operator trucks jammed with all the snow during removal and I felt nothing but grateful they were there In the first place. Sooo much snow!!! Good job guys! And ladies!
When will SE be done. We are on 44 ave by the bus hub and we can barely drive on our roads.
42 Ave is awful. It’s getting super difficult to turn into it because the slush is so deep and driving down it to our house is getting much harder
We have a bus on our road every day too and it never gets priority.
And 53 ave is missed again.
They also need to start towing those that won’t move vehicles! Warnings don’t help
55 ST was not cleared, still have the no parking signs out.
