Snow Clearing - Parking Lots
As snow accumulates on Beaumont’s parking lots, we begin by plowing for access as per our Roadway Snow Plowing service level.
Clearing of the entire parking lot is a combined effort between Operations and Parks Service Areas. Here are the breakdown of responsibilities:
| Public Works | Parks | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | City Hall/Library | Fire Hall |
| 2 | Operations Facility | Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) |
| 3 | After School Care (~12 stalls beside Beau Meadow school) | Centre Communautaire Beaumont Community Centre (CCBCC) Asphalt Parking Lot Area |
| 4 | Centre Communautaire Beaumont Community Centre (CCBCC) Overflow Parking Lot (Gravel) | Beaumont Sport and Recreational Centre (BSRC) |
| 5 | Lions RV Parking Lot | Parks shop/Youth Centre |
| 6 | Four Seasons Park Parking Lot (South) | Ken Nichol Regional Recreational Centre (KNRRC) Early Learning Child Care Centre (ELCC) |
| 7 | Four Seasons Park Parking Lot (North) | |
| 8 | Clearwater Cemetery |
When parking lots have a large snow pile or time becomes available, snow is hauled to the designated snow storage site by the responsible party for the parking lot. Operations will strive to help as much as possible and limit the amount of hauling that contractors do.
Beaumont will strive for two (2) service levels of priorities for Beaumont owned parking lots prioritized by usage:
| Priority | Parking Lots | Snow Conditions and Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
| Within 24 hours after 5 cm of snowfall or equivalent snow drift |
| 2 |
| Within 72 hours after 5 cm of snowfall or equivalent snow drift |
