The Red Deer check after the plow comes through

After a storm, separate the public sidewalk, private walk or driveway, street parking and the location of snow piles. One municipal program may not answer all four.

Corner properties should check every public frontage, not just the sidewalk at the front door. Commercial properties may also have a different service level or deadline.

Treat winter guidance as live information: verify the current season and any active event before making a parking or clearing decision.
