NEARLY REAL-TIME
LOOK AT PLOWING
THE City of Winnipeg has updated its snow-clearing operations map to allow pedestrians to see where sidewalks and paths have been plowed in near real time.
The city is now using automatic vehicle location technology built into its clearing equipment to update its online map every 15 minutes with the latest plowing progress on sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes, the municipal government said Tuesday.
Previously, staff entered the information manually for an entire area, typically at the end of a 12-hour snow-clearing shift.
“Winnipeggers want clear, timely information they can rely on,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham in a news release. “By using automatic vehicle location technology, we’re giving residents near real-time updates on snow-clearing progress so they can plan their trips safely and confidently.”
