The City’s Winter Maintenance Program

The City clears and salts municipal roads, priority sidewalks, bus stops and pedestrian crossings within 12-36 hours after the end of a snowstorm. Back to back storms will extend this timing.

Winter maintenance standards are set by Council and help ensure emergency vehicles and transit can travel safely.

During a snowstorm crews focus on clearing priority routes. Local or residential streets are plowed after priority roads are cleared. Bare pavement is not guaranteed.

Snow Season Parking – Safety Comes First – Plan Ahead

Roads with parked cars take longer to plow or salt. Please remove vehicles from roads during heavy snowfalls.

A winter on-street parking restriction is in effect in Mississauga between November 1- March 31between 2 – 6 a.m. Parked or stopped vehicles will be towed and stored at the owner’s expense.

During snow clearing, temporary paring requests (parking considerations) will not be issued and current ones will be cancelled.

Helping Others

Be a good neighbour and help others to travel safely to school, work, appointments or to run errands, especially the elderly or persons with mobility issues. Please clear your driveway, non-priority sidewalk and steps of ice and snow to make them safe for all.
