Slippery Roads – Drive with Caution

The City is advising residents to drive with caution, as road conditions may be slippery, especially on roads with a steep incline.

The City is monitoring the situation and will send sanding trucks as required.

During poor weather, for safety reasons, residents are asked to lower their speed as well as allow for at least one car length between vehicles. Snow tires also assist with traction.

Please remember to adjust driving to weather conditions.
