ICE AND SNOW PLAN – WHAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW

Ice and snow conditions persist with more on the way. Here is what the Park Board is doing to ensure public safety:

• We have closed the seawall from Lions Gate to Siwash Rock because of extremely icy and unsafe conditions.  Signage and barriers are up.   

• Our seawall priority today is salting and sanding heavily used shady sections of seawall between Second and Third Beach.  

 

• Warning signage in effect on all open sections of seawall. 

 

•  Public advised to be very careful and use ice grips on footwear if possible. 

 

• Please use extra caution in walking and avoid cycling through parks as we work on clearing paved sections.

 

• Our maintenance priorities are Community Centre parking lots and pathways, especially areas used by seniors.  We are salting and brining these areas every day. 

 

• Roads and paths in our heavily used destination parks like Stanley and Bloedel are also high priority for our crews.

 

• We are bringing crews in from golf, train and other operations to assist park staff in clearing paths
