Public Works is implementing the same Routes and Equipment for the upcoming season and as always, our vehicles have GPS tracking to ensure constant feedback from the field to administration. This process ensures our adherence to Minimum Maintenance Standards are met in regards to timing and application of abrasive products. In preparation for winter operations, please ensure that your Mailboxes are properly secured prior to that first snowfall. A quick guideline is that if you can wiggle the mailbox, it more than likely will not stand up to a full wing of snow hitting it. If you encounter Public Works vehicles in your day to day travels, please ensure that you can provide as much of the roadway as possible. We as staff tend to slow down and move to the right as much as possible while meeting traffic during our opera- tions. Further to this, if you find yourself following one of our vehi- cles, please ensure a safe distance is maintained. If blowing snow is pre- sent, you may find it is nearly impossible to see within 100m of our taillights. With the change in season, and the days getting shorter, please be aware on the roads for various hazards. Not only is the sunrise or sunset variable, wildlife are also moving about this time of year. As the tem- perature drops, what may appear dry and clear could be some black ice forming on the roadway. Please slow down and give yourself that lit- tle bit of extra time to make it to your destination. A pre-winter vehi- cle inspection and installation of some snow tires is never a bad idea.
