The City of Red Deer, Alberta, is currently running its 24-hour snow and ice control program to clear streets and trails following recent winter weather on March 13, 2026.

Maintenance crews are working through the day and night to clear major roads and residential neighbourhoods. These operations are designed to make sure residents can get around the city safely after a snowfall.

Residential plowing is managed through a “Snow Zone” system where parking bans are put in place to give plows enough space to work. According to the city’s work plan, crews focus on “Green Routes” first before moving to “Grey Routes” once the clearing begins.

Residents are asked to move their vehicles off the street when a ban is active to avoid being ticketed or towed. People can stay updated on their specific area by checking the city’s website, using the mobile app, or calling the local hotline.
