The City of Grande Prairie has wrapped up its residential snow clearing operations for the season as of the end of the day on March 30, 2026. This decision marks the conclusion of the fourth rotation of the winter, and crews are now shifting their focus toward managing snowmelt and removing snow storage to help improve drainage throughout the community.
The city decided to end the residential clearing rotation early due to forecasted warmer weather. Officials noted that this shift allows for a more effective use of equipment and resources as the region enters the spring melt period. For context, residential snow clearing in the city is typically triggered when accumulated snowfall reaches 10 centimetres, following a two-week rotation schedule for different neighbourhoods.
While crews have finished work in residential areas, residents should be aware that permanent parking bans on main routes remain in place. Parking is restricted on Priority 1 and Priority 2 roads on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. until the city formally lifts these bans. These measures ensure that main roadways remain clear as the city manages the transition into spring.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on road conditions and future alerts by signing up for notifications at cityofgp.com/snow or cityofgp.com/updates. Anyone with questions or concerns regarding local maintenance can contact AccessGP by calling 311 locally, or by dialing 780-538-0300 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
