2022 SNOWFALL EVENT AND RESPONSE - SUMMARY AND OUTCOMES

The City's response continued on an as-required basis since the November 29, 2022 event with pre-treatment or brining continuing at various times based on conditions per normal operating practice. Commencing Sunday, December 18, 2022, the City's full response fleet began operating 24 hours per day to treat roads. Multiple staff teams were established to clear bus stops, sidewalk letdowns, parking lots as well as walkways, ramps and entrances at City facilities. During the December 18th week event, there were some traffic backlogs at the George Massey Tunnel and Alex Fraser Bridge caused by the counter flow lanes not being activated. The City's December 18th response level continued until weather conditions eased. The operational response then transitioned to drainage activities to clear catch basins, and to clear pump station and canal screens to avoid and/or mitigate the impacts of localized flooding caused by the snow melt. This was further complicated by freezing rain and heavy rain conditions.
