Town of Ajax
Snow Removal in Ajax
In Ajax the Town plows about 150 of its 400 kilometres of sidewalk, mostly on Regional and main Town roads. The other 250 kilometres are cleared by the people who live beside them, within 24 hours, and the windrow is theirs too.
Flat seasonal price, confirmed before the first snow.
The Ajax sidewalk rule and your quote
The Town of Ajax requires businesses and residents to clear snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of their property within 24 hours after a snowfall or after ice forms. Fines are set in the Town's User Fees By-law and are applied directly to the property tax bill. Town sidewalk plows cover roughly 150 km of the 400 km network, taking up to 16 hours and starting with primary sidewalks on Regional and main Town roads; the remainder is the owner's. The Town states plainly that windrow clearing is the home or property owner's responsibility. A Snow Removal Program for Seniors and Qualified Residents exists for households 65 and over or with a physical disability, with service beginning after a 5 cm snowfall.
The properties we see most in Ajax
Ajax streets are 1980s to 2010s subdivisions laid out in crescents and courts, with sidewalks on most streets and two-car driveways that meet the road at a curb the street plow buries. Because the Town leaves most sidewalks and every windrow to the owner, an Ajax contract has three parts by default: driveway and apron, the sidewalk frontage to the bylaw clock, and the windrow. Commercial properties along Harwood, Bayly and Kingston Road carry the same sidewalk duty on top of the lot.
