On January 13, 2025, during a regularly scheduled meeting, the Council approved a new policy focused on snow clearing and ice control. This policy aims to enhance public safety and improve accessibility throughout the community by ensuring timely and effective management of winter weather conditions.
The Town of Bonavista is responsible for the maintenance of public road rights-of-ways within the geographical boundaries of the Town of Bonavista with the exception of the provincially owned and operated roads (Confederation Drive, John Cabot Drive, Ryan's Hill Road, Campbell Street, Church Street, Cape Shore Road, Hospital Road, Station Road, Coster Street, Elliston Road, and Spillar's Cove Road.)
This policy outlines the standard procedure by which the Town of Bonavista conducts its snow-clearing and ice-control operations during the winter season.
This policy is enforced during the period of December 1 to April 15 or during any time in which snow-clearing operations are deemed necessary by the Municipality.
NOTE: There will be no deviation from the priorities in this policy except for medical emergencies that take place during extreme snow events.
