CITY OF DIEPPE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1
General
The City of Dieppe currently plows and salts all public streets within its City limits.
All of these streets are asphalted, with the exception of new gravelled subdivision
streets not yet asphalted, and a few kilometres of streets that are chip sealed.
The City also clears the snow off sidewalks, parking lots as well as all fire hydrants
and some walking trails.
The municipality has experienced rapid growth in recent years, and the maintenance
of streets and sidewalks is adjusted each year to take into account the new areas
added. The population of the City of Dieppe is currently estimated at over 26 000.
1.2
Aim
To provide an effective and efficient level of service for snow and ice control in the
City of Dieppe and to insure that this level of service is well understood by operators,
supervisors, senior staff, City Council and the public.
1.3
Mission
To provide a consistent level of snow and ice control in the City of Dieppe.
1.4
Policy
The City of Dieppe provides snow removal and ice control on city streets and
sidewalks according to pre-established priorities. Streets are prioritized based on their
importance in the overall transportation network.
Priority 1 streets are arterial and heavily travelled collector streets.
Priority 2 streets are collectors and some heavily travelled local streets.
Priority 3 streets are typically local streets.
Higher priority streets are serviced earlier in the storm response, and are given higher
level of service.
Version no. 8
Page 3
CITY OF DIEPPE
2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1
The superintendent of the transportation division is responsible to the manager of
the public works department, within the services to the Community for snow and
ice control in the City of Dieppe.
2.2
The superintendent or his designate is responsible for ensuring the winter storm
response is in accordance with this Snow and Ice Control Plan. The
superintendent, along with his foremen, will be familiar with this plan and will
conduct winter maintenance tasks to achieve and maintain safe driving and ease
of traffic flow.
2.3
The general procedures followed will be in accordance with established
procedures.
a)
Priority 1
-
Arterials and heavily travelled Collectors
b)
Priority 2
-
Collectors and heavily travelled Locals
c)
Priority 3
-
Local Streets
Please remember, you may not live on a priority one street but you probably drive
on one. It is to everyone's benefit that these high volume streets are serviced first.
2.4
Evening, night and weekend crews play a critical role in storm response. While
they ensure the Snow and Ice Control Plan is followed, they are expected to
exercise judgment and respond to changing conditions.
2.5
The operators of all snow control and winter maintenance vehicles and equipment
will operate in a safe and efficient manner at all times. They are responsible for
ensuring their vehicles and equipment are in a safe and mechanically ready state.
Operators will also be responsible to ensure that their route is completed in
accordance with the Snow and Ice Control Plan. The operators will report to their
immediate supervisors if there are any problems or difficulties with their
equipment, both at the start of or during the storm response.
3.0 PROCEDURES
Specific policies and procedures have been developed over a number of years and are
based on experience, available resources and the expectations of Council and the
community.
Procedure for Snow and Ice Control During Snowfall Conditions
1. A decision by the appropriate foreman or crew chief will be made concerning
what type of vehicle and how many will be used to clear snow and ice from the
streets during snowfall events. For example, a light snowfall may require salt
Version no. 8
Page 4
CITY OF DIEPPE
trucks only. Whereas if snowfall increases, additional vehicles may be necessary –
this could include loader plows or truck plows. Heavy snowfall may require all
available vehicles and equipment.
2. Ice conditions by themselves or combined with snow, may require special
operations. This may include extra salting/sanding of intersections, heavily
traveled routes and/or hills.
3. Foremen will exercise judgment on what types of vehicles and equipment will be
used with each situation. Factors that contribute to these decisions includes light
snow, heavy wet snow, ice, ice pellets, time of day, day of week, etc. Other
factors include experience of personnel, available equipment, safety concerns, etc.
4.0 SNOW PLOWING
4.1
Objective
The snow plowing objective is to plow all streets to the travelled surface width within
eight (8) hours of storm ending for snowfalls up to 30 centimetres. For snowfalls
above 30 centimetres, the objective is to clear the snow as soon as available
equipment and personnel will allow.
The amount of snow received during each event and the type often varies (wet/heavy,
dry/powder, combinations of each) and this can either positively or negatively effect
the times stated above.
Levels of service for specific types of roadways are provided in Appendix A. The
street classification map is provided in Appendix C.
4.2
Initial Operation
Initially, salt is spread on all arterial and some collector streets as storm begins. Brine
will also be spread on local streets; this procedure will be done during the 24 hours
before the expected snow fall. This step eliminates the freezing of the first snowfall
and makes the “bare pavement” goal more achievable. In many cases of light
snowfall, this is all that is required. Upon the accumulation of four to eight
centimeters of snow, the salt truck operators commence plowing and the other plow
operators are called in.
Version no. 8
Page 5
CITY OF DIEPPE
For snow plowing operations, the City is divided into eleven (11) zones with the
equipment assigned to each zone being the best suited for the anticipated road
conditions (see Appendix D for drawings showing the plowing routes of each zone).
Appendix K provides a list of the equipment available for snow and ice control.
Plowing continues on these routes until the snow has stopped falling and all the
streets are plowed. As well, the crews normally make a pass over the streets after the
snowfall ends to widen the streets and clear the intersections. However, depending on
the length of the storm or the build-up of snow on the edge of the street, it is
sometimes necessary that this widening take place after the crews have rested.
4.3
Road Hazards
Plowing on municipal streets is not the same as plowing on the open road. Municipal
plowing is usually at slower speeds. The streets are shorter between intersections and
there are many hazardous structures such as manhole covers, valve boxes, railway
tracks, etc., which often project above the street surface. In the fall the work crews
make adjustments to eliminate these hazards but they often reappear through frost
action. Mountable curb is also difficult to locate during the snowstorms; wood
markers are therefore placed in the fall at strategic locations to assist the operators to
avoid lawn damage. In order to familiarize the equipment operators with their routes
and these hazards, the operators in the various zones will travel their districts with
their supervisor prior to snowfall. This process also increases their productivity and
minimizes equipment damage.
4.4
Exchanged Routes
Each year, the City exchanges plowing with the New Brunswick Department of
Transportation. A section of Champlain Street, a section of LeBlanc Road, a section
of Melanson Road and Arsenault Road, located outside the City, are maintained
through the winter by the City. This arrangement has been in practice for several
years and works to the benefit of the City and the Province, and gives very good
service to the residents of these areas.
4.5
Sidewalks
Sidewalks are plowed and sanded according to the following priorities:
Priority 1
1. sidewalks on heavily traveled arterial streets
2. sidewalks near school zones
3. Place 1604 (see Appendix F for sidewalks in Place 1604 that will be cleared)
Priority 2
1. sidewalks in Uptown Dieppe area and Dieppe Aquatic and Sports Centre
2. sidewalks on less travelled arterial streets and collector streets
3. remaining sidewalks
Version no. 8
Page 6
CITY OF DIEPPE
Note that 2.4 km of sidewalks will not be cleared from snow. That section is a Priority 2
located on Dieppe Blvd west side, between Melanson Road and Chartersville Road.
See Appendix H for the Sidewalk Snow Clearing Map.
The objective is that all Priority 1 sidewalks will be cleaned of snow within 24 hours
from the end of the snowfall for snow storms up to 30 centimetres. When we receive
larger snow accumulations, it may take as long as 72 hours depending on the type of
snow (wet and heavy, powder, etc), the previous accumulations, equipment and staff
availability.
All sidewalk in Priority 2 will be cleaned from snow in regular hours after P-1 sidewalks.
The objectif is to clean P-2 sidewalks 3 days after the P-1 sidewalks are cleaned.
The sidewalks around Place 1604 which are covered with compressed concrete pavers as
well as the granite staircase next to City Hall will be maintained with salt. Other
sidewalks will receive sand to improve traction.
Note: It is not the City’s intention to have bare sidewalks during the winter season. Snow
will be removed and sand provided to improve traction.
4.6
Walking Trails
The Culture, Leisure and Community Life department removes fallen snow along 23.6
km of trails following a snowstorm.
Trails are cleared according to their use and on the basis of priority:
Priority 1
- Trails near schools
- Trails connecting school bus stops
Priority 2
- Trail along the marsh, extending up to Pointe-aux-Renards
- Trail along Dieppe Boulevard
- Other trails located in various subdivisions
Please note that there are 11.4 km of trails that are not cleared, the most important ones
being Bonaventure Park, Pointe-aux-Renards in Dover, Dover Community Park and other
minor connections to neighborhood parks.
See Appendix I for walking trails snow clearing maps.
The objective is to have the P-1 cleared of snow in the 24 hours that follow a snowfall of
30 cm or less. When the snow accumulation is greater, snow clearing can take up to 72
Version no. 8
Page 7
CITY OF DIEPPE
hours depending on the type of snow (wet and heavy, fluffy, etc.), previous snowfall,
available resources and equipment.
The P-2 trails will be cleared after P-1 trails are cleared and during regular work hours.
The objective is to clean the P-2 trails 5 days after the P-1 trails are cleaned.
Snow removal and upkeeping of trails at the Rotary St-Anselme Park will be done in the
same timeframe as in the P-1, 24 hours following a snowstorm of 30 cm or less.
Note: It is not the City’s intention to have all the trails cleared during the winter season.
Snow will be removed and sand provided to improve traction.
4.7
Parking Lots
The objective for City-owned parking lots of Place 1604 is to clear the snow within four
(4) hours from the end of the snowfall for snow storms up to 30 centimetres. Snow will
be stockpiled at strategic locations in the parking lots to minimize lost parking spaces.
Snow removal operations from the parking lots in Place 1604 during the day and evening
are expected to be extremely inefficient, not only because of parked cars and traffic
conflicts in the work areas, but also because of delays experienced traveling to and from
the snow dumps. Therefore, snow removal operations will be performed at night. In
general the goal is to have the snow hauled from Place 1604 parking lots and the
sidewalks next to the parallel parking areas along Champlain and Marché Streets within
96 hours of the storm end.
As a general rule, other parking lots are cleared after streets have been plowed. The
objective is that other parking lots will be cleared within eight (8) hours of the storm end.
Snow will be stockpiled at strategic locations in the parking lots to minimize lost parking
spaces. (see Appendix E for the list of parking lots).
4.8
Widening on Dieppe Boulevard and Amirault Street
Due to stopping sight distance requirements, the accumulation of snow must not exceed
0.38m in height on each side of certain intersections.
This requirement applies for a width of 2.0m back from the face of the curb and a
distance of 50 metres on each side of the intersection along Dieppe Boulevard. The
intersections with these requirements are:
Englehart Street/Dieppe Boulevard
Samuel Court/Dieppe Boulevard
Murray Street/Dieppe Boulevard
Aucoin Street/Dieppe Boulevard
Version no. 8
Page 8
CITY OF DIEPPE
These areas will be checked after each snowfall by the foreman. If snow accumulation
has exceeded the 0.38m requirement, the objective is to clear or remove the snow within
48 hours from the end of the snowfall.
These areas are shown on the maps in Appendix D.
4.9
Damage Due to Snow Plowing
Public works and engineering staff are alerted to damages due to snow removal by other City
employees, by a member of the public, or through routine checks.
1. Lawn Damage
Information regarding lawn damage due to snow removal is relayed by public works
and engineering dispatch to the foreman for investigation and scheduling of repairs.
The department will maintain a list of properties with lawn damage, and the repairs
will be scheduled to begin in May (when growing medium is available).
The foreman ensure that employees who perform this work are trained for, or
experienced in, the proper procedure for repairing lawn damage, and appropriate
precautions are taken to ensure the safety of City employees and the public. Every
effort is made to minimize disruption in the work area.
2. Mail Box Damage
The City of Dieppe accepts no liability for any damage to mailboxes or associated
structures.
4.10
Special Provisions for Mobility-Impaired Persons
The operators of snow clearing equipment will take special care when working on or
around sidewalk to ensure that all snow is cleared between the street and sidewalk at
crosswalks. Operators will also ensure that no snow is left on the sidewalk when clearing
snow around fire hydrants.
For bus shelters, the objective is to clear the snow inside, between the street and the
sidewalk at all bus shelters within 24 hours from the end of snowfall for snow storms up
to 30 centimetres.
The objective is that snow will be cleared around all traffic light poles to give access to
pedestrian push buttons to wheelchairs within 24 hours from the end of snowfall for snow
storms up to 30 centimetres.
Version no. 8

CITY OF DIEPPE
5.0 SNOW REMOVAL
After the initial snow plowing operations are completed, snow could be removed,
depending on conditions, from the sides of selected streets but primarily in the downtown
core and the Uptown area. This is accomplished by loading the snow into trucks and
hauling it to specifically identified locations for disposal (snow dumps), or blowing the
snow off the street and sidewalk to the adjoining area. City staff and equipment as well as
hired equipment and trucks are utilized for this operation.
Also, if accumulations warrant, snow could be hauled from major intersections to
improve sight distances.
There are not enough resources available to remove snow from the sides of all city
streets, however if deemed necessary for public safety reasons, streets can be widened by
blowing the snow in back of the sidewalks, curbs or ditches.
5.1
Snow Blowers
During removal operations, in the downtown core and elsewhere, the City windrows the
snow along the curb lane of the street and the snow blowers immediately load and
dispose of this snow in order to minimize the snow banks the pedestrians must navigate
to cross these busy streets.
5.2
Fire Hydrants
The clearing of snow around the City’s fire hydrants begins after the plowing of streets is
completed and the clearing of sidewalks is under way. Fire hydrants will not necessarily
be cleaned of snow after each snow storm. The superintendent, in cooperation with his
foremen, will decide if the accumulation of snow around the fire hydrants and/or the
snow bank along the street in front of the fire hydrant warrants the clearing operation to
be activated. The objective is to clear the snow from fire hydrants according to priorities
established by the Fire Department and as soon as available equipment and personnel will
allow. For snow clearing around fire hydrants, the City uses City equipment (depending
on availability) and hired equipment.
In low density housing areas, the City will encourage residents to “Adopt a Hydrant”.
Citizens will be asked to voluntarily clear snow from fire hydrants serving their
neighborhood. Such efforts by the citizens are in their own best interest as it affords
better fire protection to their own property as well as their neighbours.
5.3
Snow Dumps
The City will maintain three (3) snow dumps for snow disposal, namely the Copp Street
field (next to the soccer field), at the end of Benjamin Street and east of Rufin Street, near
the Operations Centre.
In extreme winter conditions, other auxiliary dumps will be used as needed; as identified
on the map illustrated in Appendix J.
Version no. 8
Page 10
CITY OF DIEPPE
Each of the snow dump sites used through the winter will be cleaned of any garbage and
debris once the snow has melted in the Spring.
6.0 SALT, BRINE, AND SAND OPERATIONS
Sodium chloride remains the chemical of choice for snowstorm situations. The City of
Dieppe has a Salt Management Plan that was adopted by Council.
6.1
Storage
All salt is stored indoors in a weather resistant salt storage building at the Operations
Centre, specifically designed for salt storage. The site of the salt dome is constructed in
such a way that water flows away from the building. The salt dome has an impermeable
floor that protects migration of salt into the ground. It has the capacity to store
approximately 3,000 tonnes of salt. After each salt spreading operation, any unused salt
is returned to the salt storage building for storage.
All sand is blended with salt to prevent it from freezing, and is stored in the same
building as the salt, in a separate area.
6.2
Initial Operation
As previously mentioned, City streets are salted at the commencement of a snowstorm or
freezing rain. Salt trucks are also dispatched for salt spreading at the end of the storm to
assist in achieving bare pavement.
6.3
Brine
Brine will be spread on local streets in the 24 hours period preceding an expected
snowfall. Composed of salt and water, brine helps prevent ice formation on the roadway
6.4
Sand
In Dieppe, sand is used on the paved streets as the temperatures drop below the levels of
effectiveness for salt. However, when the temperatures do drop below these levels, the
streets are sanded in the same manner, as they would have been salted. Sanding rates
tend to be higher than salt because it is used as an abrasive rather than a de-icer. Sanding
impacts negatively on street cleanliness, sewer cleaning requirements and air quality.
6.5
Accidental Salt Spills
If a significant amount of road salt is spilt, such as from an overturned truck,
Environment N.B. shall be advised by calling one of the following numbers: daytime
856-2374, or nighttime 1-800-565-1633, where an inspector is on call 24 hours/day, 7
days/week. Public Works’ staff will cleanup the site as soon as possible and reuse as
much of the salt as possible.
Version no. 8
Page 11
CITY OF DIEPPE
6.6
Critical Areas
During freezing rainstorms and when temperatures drop after a period of thawing, there
are critical areas where vehicle movements can become treacherous and sometimes
impossible. These occur at major intersections, main routes, hills, bridges and runoff
areas. These critical areas are the first to be salted or sanded in the various districts. In
many instances these are the only areas, which require salting and sanding.
The order of priority is as follows:
Arterials and collectors – salted within 3 hours.
Local streets – salted or sanded within 4 to 6 hours.
6.7
General operations
Levels of service for specific types of roadways are provided in Appendix A. The street
classification map is provided in Appendix C.
Unless otherwise specified by the superintendent, no salt is applied on chip sealed streets
(example: sections of Melanson Road and LeBlanc Road, Bourque Road and Parc Drive)
and on gravelled streets. Only sand is to be applied on these streets. For safety reasons,
the superintendant may change this procedure.
Salting rates are based on road surface temperature not ambient temperature.
The brine application rate will be 100 liters per lane kilometer.
Maximum operating speed for salt/sand applications is 40 km/h.
Version no. 8
Page 12
CITY OF DIEPPE
Appendix A
Level of service for roadways
Arterial and heavily travelled collector streets receive the highest priority. These streets are
plowed continuously during the snowstorm, where possible (see guidelines below). The ice
control service utilizes controlled salting to maintain clear driving lanes during and following
a storm, and a bare centre strip.
Collectors and heavily travelled local streets are plowed after 5 cm of snow accumulation.
Salting / sanding is carried out following the storm so as to maintain bare pavement full
width.
Local streets are plowed after 5 to 8 cm accumulation of snow; salting is carried out for ice
control. The level of service accepts a snow packed street with hills, curves, intersections and
hazardous areas treated with salt.
Arterials and heavily
travelled collectors
(Priority 1)
Collectors and heavily
travelled local streets
(Priority 2)
Local Streets
(Priority 3)
1. Start immediately plowing and salting at the beginning
of the snowstorm. Plowing should start as soon as slush
begins to form.
2. Plow continuously during storm, visibility permitting.
3. Normally plowed to bare pavement, shoulder to
shoulder, within 3 to 4 hours after storm ends.
1. Plow after 5 cm of snow.
2. Salt as required during the storm.
3. Salting of the entire streets takes place after the storm.
4. Normally plowed to bare pavement, curb to curb, within
5 to 6 hours after storm ends.
1. Start plowing after 5 to 8 cm of snow.
2. Salt at intersections during the storm.
3. Salting of hills, curves, intersections and icy spots takes
place after the storm.
4. Normally plowed, curb to curb, within 6 to 8 hours after
storm ends.
Note: The completion times in the above table are based on a snowstorm of magnitude up to
30 cm.
The public works superintendent ensures that employees who perform this work are trained
for, or experienced in, the proper procedure for winter maintenance (snow and ice removal),
and appropriate precautions are taken to ensure the safety of City employees and the public.

Snow Tips
There are a few things you can do:
-Sometimes it takes several passes with the maintenance equipment to completely clear the street.
Wait until plowing operations are completed and you will only have to shovel your driveway
once.
-When you shovel your driveway, place the snow on the "downstream" side so your driveway
won't be filled in the next time the plow comes by.
-Gear up for winter. Keep your car well tuned, and keep adequate supplies of salt and sand on
hand for your driveway.
There are things you can do to help the City crews:

Observe snow by-laws.
Don't park overnight on any City street from December 1st to March 31st.
Don't push snow from a driveway or parking lot onto a City street or sidewalk.
Don't park your vehicle at the end of your driveway in a way that would impede
the City equipment.
To help prevent localized flooding, try to keep the catch basin adjacent to your
property free from ice and snow.
Please don't place garbage or garbage containers where they can be buried,
damaged or interfere with snow removal operations.
Avoid unnecessary spinning of tires at intersections. This practice is dangerous
and is hazardous to other motorists. It also tends to "ice up" the intersections.
Adopt a fire hydrant - If there is a fire hydrant in front of or near your property,
you may remove the snow from around it and make it accessible for emergencies.
Help us to help you.
DRIVE CAREFULLY
The Culture, Leisure and Community Life Department attempts to minimize the impact of snow
and ice for our citizens. However, it is each motorist's responsibility to drive according to the road
conditions. If it is slippery, please slow down.
