مسی ساگا کے سائز کے شہر میں برف صاف کرنا، آپ تصور کر سکتے ہیں، ایک بڑا کام ہے۔ ہر برف باری کے ساتھ، شہر نمکیات، ریت اور صاف کرتا ہے:
To accomplish this task, the City deploys more than 800 snow clearing vehicles. Every snowfall is different, but our team is always ready to adapt and respond.
The plan
How the City clears snow, and how long it takes.
The time it takes to clear a particular street depends on the amount of snowfall and whether it is a primary or secondary route. The following table shows the City's service standards for the time it takes to salt and clear roads from the end of a snowfall.
| سڑک کی قسم | <5 سینٹی میٹر | 5 - 15 cm | 15 - 30 cm | > 30 سینٹی میٹر |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| بنیادی راستے اور فٹ پاتھ | Salted - 12 hrs | 12 گھنٹے | 24 گھنٹے | > 24 گھنٹے |
| ثانوی راستے اور پڑوس کی سڑکیں۔ | Salted - 24 hrs | 24 گھنٹے | 36 گھنٹے | > 36 گھنٹے |
If your street has not been cleared, first check the standard service times above. Our snow team will not record requests for missed streets until our service deadlines have passed.

Your street
Driveways, sidewalks and parking after a snowfall.
A windrow is the pile of snow a plow leaves at the end of your driveway when it goes by. That snow has been called a windrow historically because it looks like the rows farmers leave between their fields to prevent the wind blowing their soil away.
New for the 2025-2026 snow season, the City offers a windrow clearing program for all residents of detached, semi-detached and town homes on public streets.
The program is not designed to clear snow the same way that residents might when clearing driveways. It is designed as a driveway access program to ensure people, particularly those who lack the ability to clear a snow plow row, can get in or out of their driveways. More specifically, it has the following restrictions:
-
1
Windrow clearing must necessarily be done after street plowing. Windrow clearing can take up to six hours after plowing or longer with the heaviest snow falls. Residents requiring faster access should prepare accordingly.
-
2
The service is dependent on their being a location to put the snow. Some townhouse residents, residents on sharp inside curves and residents at the ends of cul-de-sacs may have limited options for the placement of snow by heavy equipment.
-
3
The service is not available for apartment buildings or commercial properties.
-
4
Lower boulevard parking, street-parked cars, waste bins or other obstacles prevent crews from accessing some driveways.
-
5
Snow crews are instructed to create a 3-metre wide clearing equivalent to one driveway lane. While crews may clear wider spaces, this will not always occur. Residents will have to clear wider openings themselves.
-
6
When there is limited space to move snow, crews may leave a greater pile of snow on a portion of the driveway while providing 3-metres of access.
The following is the City's windrow clearing service schedule:
| Amount of Snow | <5 سینٹی میٹر | 5 - 15 cm | 15 - 30 cm | > 30 سینٹی میٹر |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time from Last Required Plowing of Street | Not Required | 4 hrs | 6 hrs | > 6 hrs |
فٹ پاتھ صاف کرنا
مسی ساگا شہر میں 2,400 کلومیٹر فٹ پاتھ ہیں۔ اس میں سے 1,700 کلومیٹر کو ترجیحی فٹ پاتھ کے طور پر نامزد کیا گیا ہے۔ Priority sidewalks are located on arterial, residential and industrial collector roads, transit routes; and, on roadways having school, nursing home and hospital frontage. ترجیحی فٹ پاتھ کے ساتھ ساتھ بس اسٹاپس اور پیدل چلنے والوں کی کراسنگ کی تکمیل کے لیے وہی ٹائم لائنز ہیں جو ترجیحی سڑکوں کو ملتی ہیں۔
Clearing of secondary sidewalks is a new service for the 2025-2026 snow season.
Please ensure vehicles and other obstacles that could block City sidewalk plows are removed from their path.
For issues about the quality or timing of City sidewalk clearing or to report damage caused by a sidewalk plow, please see 'How we can help' below.
گاڑیوں کی پارکنگ
برف باری ہونے پر اپنی گاڑی کو سڑک پر پارک کرنے سے گریز کریں۔ پارک کی گئی گاڑیاں شہر کو ہنگامی گاڑیوں، پبلک ٹرانزٹ اور رہائشیوں کے لیے سڑکوں کو نمکین کرنے اور صاف کرنے سے روکتی ہیں۔
پارکنگ کے عارضی اجازت نامے کسی بھی وقت برف باری کے دوران معطل کیے جا سکتے ہیں تاکہ شہر محفوظ طریقے سے سڑکوں کو صاف کر سکے۔ اس دوران عملہ کوئی نیا عارضی پارکنگ پرمٹ بھی جاری نہیں کرے گا۔ یہ جاننے کے لیے کہ آیا آپ کا پارکنگ کا عارضی اجازت نامہ معطل کر دیا گیا ہے، ٹویٹر @MississaugaSnow پر ہمیں فالو کریں یا 311 پر کال کریں۔

Getting help
Track the plows, and what to do when something goes wrong.
Want to see where our snowplows are and the status of your street? Check our snowplow tracker map. We track our snowplows, salt trucks and sidewalk plows. You can see where our plows are located and when we last serviced your road. The accuracy of the tracker has been improved this year.
ہم کس طرح مدد کر سکتے ہیں۔
Mistakes can happen. Each snowplow operator clear dozens of streets, and it is easy for something to happen on one street or in front of one home. It is a difficult job with demanding hours -- and sometimes little thanks. Overall, we have every confidence in our snow team, and they will work to correct any issue when appropriate. Please have some patience though, if you have read this summary thus far, you know that clearing our streets after a major snowfall is huge task that takes some time. Our snow team is working as quickly, but also as safely as they can.
If you have an issue with snow clearing on your street, contact our 311 team by phoning 311 or emailing public.info@mississauga.ca. On average, 311 can help you more hours of the day and more quickly than a Councillor's team can. Also, when you contact 311, your request gets statistically tracked with all other calls so that recurring issues can be identified and addressed even more quickly.
You are always welcome to call the Councillor's office, but the best time to do that is when something cannot be resolved by 311 and you think we should know. Please know, that despite the senior role a Councillor has at the City, Councillors will not jump the queue on your behalf. We are here to assist with the process -- not bypass it.
ہل سے نقصان
اگر آپ کے لان یا بلیوارڈ کو فٹ پاتھ یا گلی کے ہل سے نقصان پہنچا ہے، تو آپ اس نقصان کی اطلاع 311 پر دے سکتے ہیں۔ ہماری سنو ٹیم کا ایک رکن جائیداد کا معائنہ کرنے آئے گا۔ برف کے حالات پر منحصر ہے، یہ کافی تیزی سے ہو سکتا ہے یا برف پگھلنے تک تاخیر کا شکار ہو سکتا ہے۔ اگر ممکن ہو تو آپ 311 پر تصاویر ای میل کر کے مجموعی عمل کو تیز کر سکتے ہیں۔
مرمت کی لاگت عام طور پر ہمارے سنو پلو ٹھیکیدار کی ذمہ داری ہوتی ہے۔ مقامی سپلائرز سے سوڈ خریدے جانے کے بعد مرمت کا کام موسم بہار میں شروع ہو جائے گا۔
براہ کرم نوٹ کریں کہ آپ کو اپنے ڈرائیو وے کے بلیوارڈ حصے پر عناصر کو اٹھانے کی اجازت نہیں ہے اور ڈرائیو وے کربس یا مارکر جیسی خصوصیات کو پہنچنے والے نقصان کا احاطہ نہیں کیا جائے گا۔
Here's to good weather
Most of us like a little bit of snow, but almost all of us agree that we often get too much. Canadian winters can be long, but we can make winter a little bit brighter by helping each other through it. And better weather always comes -- sooner or later.
