COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

The timelines included also serve as a reliable baseline for future service level improvement discussions, should they become necessary. Roads are categorized by usage and type. There are five priorities. Higher ranking roads, such as major arterials, emergency routes, and collector roads, will typically be cleared before lower prioritized roads, such as residential streets and alleyways.
