NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF THOROLD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
*************************
The City of Thorold Public Works Department is keeping a very close eye on a developing system that threatens to have impact across southern Ontario with widespread snow and high winds through Saturday and Sunday.
City crews will be responding to road conditions during the storm.
Residential roads are only plowed after main roads and designated secondary roads have been plowed. As a result, during severe and continuous snowfalls it may take longer to complete snow plowing on residential roads, City parking lots and sidewalks.
In an emergency situation, you should always call 911 to access emergency services. If there is a winter control issue affecting your emergency situation, such as snow blocking road access for emergency vehicles, emergency services will contact City winter control operations directly to resolve the issue.
Thorold residents are advised to take extra precautions during episodes of extreme weather conditions. Report any slippery or dangerous road conditions to us as soon as possible by calling 905-227-3521.
