County crews dedicated to snow removal in hamlets have finished clearing snow from the streets of Westlake Village and are now working in the subdivision of Whispering Ridge. It is expected that snow removal in that neighbourhood will be completed by end of the day and snow removal will begin in Wedgewood by late afternoon.

Once roads in Wedgewood have been cleared, crews will move to the subdivisions of Taylor Estates and Maple Ridge by Friday.

Temporary parking restrictions are in effect for areas where snow removal crews are working, or will begin work within the next 24 hours.

Currently, a parking restriction is in effect for the subdivisions of Whispering Ridge, Wedgewood Taylor Estates and Maple Ridge. The County has installed new signage at the entrances to specific County neighbourhoods and will be revealed 24-hours prior to crews working in the area. When the No Parking sign is visible, parking on roadways is not permitted. Residents are also reminded to not pile or push snow from their driveways or property onto the roads as it slows the snow clearing process and creates a traffic safety hazard.

Please note that the snow removal schedule is tentative and there may be changes to the schedule in unforeseen circumstances. For more information about the snow removal procedure in the County, visit www.countygp.ab.ca/roadmaintenance.
