Snowplowing of Private Rural Driveways
Greenview will provide snowplowing for rural residents on a low-priority basis.
Applicable residents who wish to have their driveways cleared must enter into an annual Snowplowing Private Driveway Agreement. New applicants must visit a Greenview Office (Valleyview Administration Building or the DeBolt, Grovedale or Grande Cache Public Service Building) to sign up to receive a one-time Snowplow Request Sign.
Seniors and individuals with disabilities are exempt from all snowplowing fees. However, they must still complete the Snowplowing Private Driveway Agreement annually and present proof of age or disability (such as a government-issued ID or a valid disability placard).
The snowplow sign is to be placed at a location easily visible to the equipment operator when the resident requests the snowplow service. The driveways will be cleared as time and priorities permit, and the equipment operator will record the appropriate agreement number acknowledging that the driveway has been plowed. Greenview will issue an invoice to the resident for the service monthly. The snowplowing service is for residential access only; parking areas, granary and hay access, and other areas are not considered driveways and will not be cleared.
*Note: Applicants must apply/renew this service annually by the last Friday in October. The Applicant is responsible for posting the annual renewal sticker on their issued sign in order to receive continued services.
• Residential snowplowing services will be provided to eligible properties as described in Greenview Policy 4020 Snowplowing of Rural Residential Driveways (current version or replacement thereof). Greenview advises all Applicants to review this policy. Please note that snowplowing services are not extended to parcels of land smaller than five acres, non-residential properties, properties within hamlets, institutional properties, high-density subdivisions, or gated communities.
• Driveways will be cleared ONLY as time and priorities allow. They will be cleared with snowplowing equipment that is available in the area and most efficient for Greenview’s operations.
• The Applicant shall receive a one-time Snowplow Request Sign indicating the Applicant’s agreement number. Snowplow Signs remain the property of Greenview. Lost or stolen signs will be replaced by Greenview at the expense of the Applicant as per the current Schedules of Fees Bylaw. The Applicant is responsible for returning the Snowplow Sign to Greenview if they no longer require services, they relocate or sell the property.
• Greenview will snowplow the Applicant’s driveway at the discretion of Greenview once requested by the Applicant, by way of displaying their Snowplow Sign at a location that is easily visible to the Equipment Operator at the driveway entrance. It is the sole responsibility of the Applicant to ensure their Snowplow Sign is displayed appropriately for service requests or refusals. Displaying the sign at the driveway entrance will be understood as the Applicant’s request for snowplowing service.
Fees are established by Greenview in the current Schedules of Fees Bylaw
