'/Town 's ploIng Sbudget snowed Iunder SBy JASON MISNER Thse Champion S Old Man Winter is beating up on the STown of Milton's 2004 snow plowing budget. The Town bas budgeted $780,000 for snow plowing/removal duties that include Ssait and sand cos, and haif of it has already been spent thanks to major snow faits in January. 1 "That's definitely high," said Paul Cnipps, Milton's engineering director. r~The $1 .1 million winter control budget, which operates on a caiendar year, includes Sother cos like street sweeping in the spning and equipment coats like fuel, in addition to ptowing and removai. fJ The Town's snow-ptowing anny consiats Sof 15 trucks that plow and spread sait/sand Saiong 530 km of locai and regiona roada. The Town aiso has il contractors to use, if needed. Everyone has been working hard to clear *jthe white stuif as quickly aa possible, Mr. Cripps said. "That whole montb was very, very busy," be said, noting some workers stars shifts as earty as 4 s.m. "We're hoping Mother Nature co-operates." S She hasn't so far. A big reason the winter control budget is feeling snowed under is that snow accumnu- l ation in Milton last month was nearty dou- Sble the average. Camil Laprise, an Environmnent Canada forecaster, said readings at Toronto's SPearson airport, which would apply to Milton, show 63.2 cm feul in January coru- Spared to an average of 32.3 cm. Aiso, temperatures were aimost three degrees colder than normai. % Other factors impacting the winter con- trot budget this year, Mr. Cripps said, is the r~Town is responsibte for 35 km more of roads due to growth and through down- l oading froru Haiton Region. Also, it's bad %to regutarty plow snow that has drifted onto roads, mostly in rurai areas wbere there are open filds. S "Tbere's a tremendous amnount of drift- ing up there," Mr. Cripps said. "The tem- tperature bas been so cotd the snow is iight and it drifts a lot. Trucks were going up there (in Nassagaweya) 24 hours a day.' S Warmer temperatures recently bave allowed snow to become more compact, Sresutmg in lesa drifting. Heavy snow faits carlier tast year and a long winter were factors in the Town's 2003 winter control budget bailooning by an extra $470,000. The difference was cov- Iered by reserves. When it's tinie to piow, the Town bas a priority tist with 1l identified routes - including the rurai and urban areas - that first get attention. They inctude the main Sarteriai roadways like Guelph Line, Main Street, Steeles Avenue and Trafaigar Road. SNext on the liat are aide streets and second- t ary nuai roads like Eighth Line. Also, the Town only saits sidewalks in t he urban core area and sidewalks around schools. 'he reat are the responsibility of property owners.
