Snow planning for commercial and industrial properties off Highway 43.
Commercial snow and ice management in Mountview Business Park
Mountview Business Park is a Grande Prairie neighbourhood described as a large industrial and commercial development off Highway 43. The City's plowing order puts industrial and rural roads in Priority 3, after Priority 2 work is complete. A private yard cannot treat the next City plow pass as its own snow-clearing plan.
Truck aprons, loading areas and yard access need room for snow to be kept on the property. Grande Prairie Traffic Bylaw C-1166 separately lists an offence for putting snow or ice removed from commercial or industrial property onto the road. Adjacent sidewalks have a 24-hour clearing rule following the most recent deposit. PWW coordinates service through its crew network. Request a site quote so access, sidewalks and storage can be reviewed together.
How should Mountview yards plan around City plowing?
Industrial and rural roads are Priority 3 in the City's plowing order and are cleared after Priority 2 is complete. A Mountview business should plan its own yard access, truck aprons and loading areas independently of that road schedule. A site quote can identify the private areas that need attention and where snow can be stored without blocking access.
Can Mountview lot snow go onto the roadway?
No. Schedule 1 of Grande Prairie Traffic Bylaw C-1166 lists a separate offence under section 37.1A for removing snow or ice from commercial or industrial property onto the road. The bylaw also restricts putting snow on the roadway except where moving it onto private property is impractical. Plan storage on site before clearing begins.
Who is responsible for a sidewalk beside a Mountview property?
The occupant or owner of property adjacent to a sidewalk must remove snow and ice within 24 hours following the most recent deposit under City Traffic Bylaw C-1166. That is separate from when industrial roads are plowed. The Alberta Occupiers' Liability Act also requires reasonable care for visitors on premises, including when an independent contractor is used.
