Local Snow Facts: West Kelowna
Sidewalks. The City of West Kelowna requires property owners to remove snow and ice from sidewalks bordering their property under its Good Neighbour Bylaw; no deadline was confirmed on the City page. The City clears sidewalks adjacent to civic buildings, parks and walkways.
Snow on the road. The City asks residents not to shovel snow from driveways and sidewalks back onto the street and to pile it on their property.
City plowing. Priority 1 is arterial roads, transit routes and the steepest accesses, and Priority 2 is collectors, steep neighbourhood streets, urban centres and school zones. Priority 3 covers neighbourhood streets, cul-de-sacs and rural roads within 48 hours after snow stops.
For contractors. Residents are asked to park off the street for up to 48 hours after snowfall ends.
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
