Vancouver looking at overhauling snow removal plan

The City of Vancouver has passed a motion to revisit their snow removal plan–but unfortunately, it won’t affect response to ice and snow this winter.

Councilor George Affleck says city staff will be putting together a report on route priority.

This after bike lanes were cleared before some bus routes during a snowfall in December.

“We have a document on snow removal in this City, but I think it needs improving.  It doesn’t really delegate which ones are prioritized, which routes and which areas, categories are most important.  It lists them, but doesn’t prioritize them.”

Affleck says recommendations most likely won’t be ready until mid-February, when Vancouver’s winter weather is already over.
