What the municipality currently says. Ordinary bordering sidewalks: 24 hours after snowfall or the storm event. On a designated Priority Pedestrian Route near transit, clear by 10 a.m. each day. The City publishes the street segments and notes enforcement fines, including higher amounts for repeated priority-route offences. This does not establish the status of an individual parcel without identifying its bordering sidewalks.

First identify who controls the sidewalk

In Tri-Cities / Burrard Inlet, the street outside a property may be a municipal road, a regional route, a private strata lane or another maintained frontage. For Port Moody, check the street name and property type against the current local bylaw and maintenance map before assuming the owner or the City must shovel.

Check snowfall timing and parking separately

Snowfall amount, whether the storm has stopped and the street’s winter-parking designation are separate questions. A weather feed is contextual. Check any active municipal notice, posted sign and snow-route restrictions on the day you need to park or clear a sidewalk.

Practical winter checklist for Port Moody

  • Find the current municipal snow / sidewalk bylaw and its effective date.
  • Check whether the sidewalk is municipally maintained, a business area, a priority route or an adjacent-owner responsibility.
  • Confirm the precise start time for any clearing duty and the treatment of ongoing snowfall or freezing rain.
  • Confirm winter parking and snow placement restrictions for the exact street.
