As of noon Thursday, more than 90 per cent of phase one snow clearing had been complete.

“We knew the snow was coming, we were ready for it, we’ve had crews out working 24/7 on the main roadways,” said Valerie Dacyk, City of Edmonton snow and ice supervisor.

“Most people would have seen the increase of equipment last night to get our main roadways ready for rush hour this morning. Everyone has done a great job so far.”
