How Does Snow Removal work in new communities?
Responsibilities for snow removal in communities under construction varies from community to community. Find out more about the residential streets, sidewalks, back lanes, and pathways, and park clearing below.
Residential Streets:
Snow is removed from residential streets by a combination of Developer and city/municipal forces, depending on the level of completion of your neighbourhood.
Sidewalks:
As a homeowner, you are required to clear the sidewalks that border of your property within 24 hours of snowfall ending. Ice can build up on the sidewalks due to frequent freeze/thaw cycles, so it is important to manage the ice on your sidewalks as well as remove snow. If you do not remove snow within 24 hours in Calgary communities, you can be fined by the city. Other municipality requirements can be similar. Check for rules for your municipality.
The sidewalks in front of vacant or lots under construction are maintained by the builders in the community.
Back lanes:
Back lanes are not part of city/municipal or developer snow and ice control services.
Pathways and Parks:
While some pathways and parks are part of city/municipal snow removal, many are not. This is one of the many benefits of living in an HOA Community, as in many cases, these pathways are maintained by the Homeowners Association to ensure these spaces in the community can be enjoyed year-round.
