KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops snow-removal crews have their work cut out for them this weekend with many untouched side streets to clear, where snow has piled up.

The main roads are clear thanks to snow plows but also Mother Nature with temperatue warming up significantly, reaching a high of 5°C today. But with the heavy snow forcing crews to stick to the arterials over the past 48 hours, the focus turns to the side streets. 

“There’s a lot of locals roads we have not cleared,” said Streets and Environmental Services manager Glen Farrow. “You can see there are a lot of large windrows between the arterials and local roads. With that, we’re going to be removing those windrows and fully clearing, curb to curb, all of our local roads across the community.”
