Snow and Sidewalks

For a bit of winter amusement, here are pictures of Daniel Avenue after the recent 60cm snowfall, one part of the avenue has sidewalks, and one doesn’t. Notice how the sidewalk road is hemmed in by snow banks, because the sidewalks prevent the snow from being pushed onto lawns.

Northern end of Daniel Avenue, with more road space. Cars can even pass here!

And finally, I can hear you complaining to the city that the snow needs to be removed, and a day later we see this:

And that’s what winter snow looks like on the streets in our neighbourhood in 2025.

Snow bank removal schedule for tonight and tomorrow

Hello all,

With over 7000 kilometers of roads in Ottawa clearing all the snow from our streets is a big operation that has been compounded by two major storms within 7 days of each other depositing more snow than we had all last winter. There are many parked cars on our roads which impede plowing as the plows have to go around them, and ultimately we are left with more snow on the road. This Sunday with Ottawa receiving another 7cms, it created yet another plowing requirement.

However it was just last Wednesday the City finally finished clearing snow from all the collectors and arterial in the core of the City. Now all the residential streets in the core are scheduled to have snow cleared within the next 8 days. This includes all the residential streets in Kitchissippi.
