Snow Removal Risks in Grimsby
Commuter driveways. Clients commuting to larger centres want driveways open early, so routes start in the dark. See plow truck insurance.
Hills and grades. Sloped driveways and streets make ice control and truck handling more demanding. See Salting and sanding insurance.
Growing subdivisions. New neighbourhoods bring dense driveway routes with blades working close to garage doors, cars and landscaping. See general liability.

Local Snow Facts: Grimsby
Sidewalks. The Town of Grimsby clears municipal sidewalks and Town-owned parking lots, not private walkways. Main Street downtown is a Niagara Regional road, and the Town does not remove snow banks there.
Snow on the road. The Town states that placing snow or ice on a roadway is a violation under the Highway Traffic Act, and that depositing snow on the roadway, shoulders or sidewalks hampers snow removal.
City plowing. Depending on the storm, it can take 9 to 12 hours after it stops for plows to reach all streets, with the first priority being to plow every street once.
For contractors. On-street parking is suspended during snowstorms until local roads are cleared, and vehicles interfering with snow removal may be ticketed or towed (Parking By-law 16-82).
Municipal rules and service levels change. Confirm the current bylaw with the municipality before relying on it.
