_____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Snow clearing in the RM of Armstrong
For the safety of grader operators and everyone travelling
on our roadways we ask that NO SNOW be pushed or cleared across provincial or
municipal roads. This could lead to ridges, hard banks or soft spots which are
dangerous for all drivers. This applies to clearing your driveway with any type
of equipment or businesses who clear snow with equipment. Should this occur and there are damages, you
could be held liable for repairs or maintenance COSTS.
It is important to know that the grader operators will NOT
lift the blade between driveways as it passes by. Doing so would be extremely
time consuming and costly. Every property owner is responsible for the upkeep
of their own entries to the residence and that includes the ridge left by the
grader during its pass.
It’s also important to remember that during a winter
blizzard, high winds and in the middle of the storm operating a grader can be
unsafe, therefore the snow clearing will commence after the bad weather passes.
There are no priority roads or set routes for starting or finishing the snow
clearing. Our RM is spread out wide and we have over 600 miles of roads to clear.
Please remain patient, the snow clearing of our RM takes about 48 hours to be
completed.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. ___________________________________________________________________________________

Signage / Civic Addressing Blue Signs have been put up at the end of your
driveways. These are the 911 initiative to help emergency persons locate you
quicker should you be in need of assistance. It will also be used as your new
civic address.
Please memorize your road number (including the NE or NW part) as well as your new civic number (blue sign), you will need both
the road number (green sign or road name) as well as the civic number in order for emergency persons to
locate you.
Most all residents should by now all have their blue signs posted at the end of their lanes. The RM will supply and install civic addresses at locations/driveways where public utilities are present ie: hydro/phone. If you qualify for a sign and don't have one please call the Municipal Office. Signs can be ordered at a charge for vacant property.
