It’s that time of the year again – winter!
A Canadian winter can sometimes mean a lot of snow, and the City of Toronto is ready.
Here are a few things that you can expect as we gear up for another winter in Toronto.
Prior to the onset of a storm, Transportation Services will be applying a layer of salt brine to hills and bridges throughout the city. The application of salt brine is intended to prevent the snow from bonding to the pavement and to make it easier to plow the snow to the side of the road.
