MAP: Is your road a priority when the snow starts to fly in Abbotsford?

About 350 of 900-plus kilometres of road in Abbotsford are deemed high priority for snow removal

With snow arriving today in Abbotsford, do you know when your road is being cleared?

Abbotsford’s roads are split into three priority levels. About 350 kilometres of roads – including arterial and collector roads, transit routes, school zones, and hillside access roads – are the first priority. When those are cleared, the city moves onto the second, and then the third priority levels. If snow keeps falling on the first-priority routes, those roads will keep getting plowed to keep them cleared.
