Program details and service standards
We dispatch windrow clearing contractors after all roadway plowing is completed during a snow event. You can expect windrows to be cleared within 36 hours after the snow stops and within 12 hours of the completion of all road plowing. The service does not include clearing of snow left by sidewalk plows.
Schedule
The service runs during our regular seasonal snowplow schedule of mid-November to the end of March.
