The Town of The Blue Mountains is proud to release a new interactive Snow Plowing Progress map on the Town’s Open Data Hub. The map has been developed internally by staff and allows the public to see when roads throughout the municipality were last plowed. The data is gathered through GPS systems installed in the Town’s snow plows, and is intended to support residents with trip planning during winter months.
The Town is responsible for winter maintenance on Town-owned roads. Certain roads including Highway 26, some boundary roads and some smaller local roads are not maintained by the Town. The status of these third-party plowed roads is not displayed on this map. Seasonal roads also do not receive winter maintenance. More information about Winter Road Maintenance can be found on the Town’s website.
The Town works to keep roads and sidewalks safe throughout winter in accordance with the Town’s Minimum Maintenance Standards. Weather, traffic and road conditions influence when work happens. While crews aim to clear snow quickly, roads may remain snow-covered for a period of time after significant storms. For up-to-date road information, please visit Municipal511 or Grey County Roads.
