Snow Removal in Vaughan
Vaughan offers windrow clearing to every home fronting a City road, and plows the sidewalks on its sidewalk map at 5 cm. It also tells residents in plain words that shovelling snow onto the road is illegal. What stays with the homeowner is the driveway beyond the City's opening, the walk and the steps.
Flat seasonal price, confirmed before the first snow.
The Vaughan sidewalk rule and your quote
The City of Vaughan plows main-road sidewalks at 5 cm and residential sidewalks after main roads, but only sidewalks on the City's sidewalk plowing map are maintained. Under the Road Allowance By-law residents are asked to help remove ice and snow on sidewalks in front of and along their property; no hour deadline or fine is stated on the City's page. Windrow clearing is offered to all homes fronting Vaughan roads, clearing enough for a car to pass within about four hours of the plow and delayed when 10 cm or more has fallen; industrial areas are cleared when windrows reach 45 cm. Vaughan cites Highway Traffic Act section 181 in stating that shovelling snow or ice onto the road is illegal, and Encroachment By-law 034-2017 asks that items stay 30 cm from the sidewalk and one metre from the curb.
The properties we see most in Vaughan
Woodbridge and Kleinburg have the wide lots and long, often interlocked driveways; Maple and Vellore Village are newer with two-car garages and sidewalks on most streets; Thornhill on the Vaughan side is older and tighter. The City's windrow pass opens a car width, so the contract covers the rest of the apron, the driveway, the walk and steps, with salting matched to interlock. Vaughan's industrial parks around Highway 7, Jane and the 400 are among the largest lots in the GTA, where a commercial quote is about stacking room, dock approaches and a service log the property manager can file.
