Downtown snow to be cleared tonight; residential streets later this week
Prince Albert’s snow plow crews have finished their work on the priority one routes, although ordinary residential streets likely won’t see any action until late in the week. However frustrations among downtown businesses over the snow clearing situation have now been eased.
Snow crews have switched their focus to so-called priority two roads around the city as they continue to deal with the large snow dump from the weekend and yesterday.
“We’ve now moved into bus and collector routes,” roadways manager Brent Kennedy told paNOW. “The [relative] lack of snowfall Monday night has enabled us to finish with all the main arterial routes.”
However, clearing up the priority two routes — which include the likes of 22nd Street, 13th Street and most of Central Ave — won’t be easy, and Kennedy figured that could take two days, meaning regular residential streets won’t start to be cleared until the end of the week.
