A harsh winter meant approximately 3500 cubic yards of salted sand (8% Mix), at a cost of $255,000 (including trucking, manpower and machinery usage) was spread by City crews with the goal of easier and safer driving for citizens and visitors to the community. It will take nearly three months to cover paved Camrose roadways to remove this sand mixture. In fact, city crews will have an expected additional 50 cubic yards (5 truckloads) to contend with as debris and litter is also scraped off of the City’s 163 kilometers of pavement. Major arterial routes and the business districts will be given highest priority. Residential areas will be covered last. The City of Camrose will post a schedule on its website and put out signage so that citizens have notice of residential street cleaning in their area. Maximum efficiency, which translates into savings for taxpayers, will be achieved when streets can be cleaned without going around parked vehicles.
