During amalgamation, residential snow-clearing services may vary depending on which community you live in and what services the former municipal government provided. In most communities, the city will clear windrows, the pile of snow left at the foot of your driveway when the snowplough clears the street. Your community may have a program to clear windrows and public sidewalks for handicapped residents or seniors over 65. A number of community organizations broker services or directly assist Toronto residents who want help clearing snow from their private property. Contact your local Works and Emergency Services office for more information.
Many private companies provide snow removal and property maintenance services for a fee.
You will find phone numbers for most of these companies in the Toronto Yellow Pages directory. The tires on most cars are underinflated, reducing their performance and creating a driving hazard. The air pressure in your tires changes by one pound for every 5 C change in air temperature.
