Lincoln, ON – (November 15, 2024) – With winter around the corner, the Town of Lincoln’s Keep it Clear program helps ensure safe, accessible streets and sidewalks for everyone in our community. The program is activated during heavy snowfall to make way for effective snow removal and safe travel. Here’s what you need to know:
What is a Keep it Clear Event?
A Keep it Clear event is declared by the Town of Lincoln when snowfall of at least 5 cm is anticipated, which prompts our Winter Control operations. The Town will aim to notify residents of a Keep it Clear event on Lincoln.ca, our social channels and e-newsletter by the end of business day prior. Local media will also be alerted to ensure widespread awareness. The Keep it Clear event will typically last 72 hours.
During this event, all vehicles must be removed from Town streets. Vehicles left on streets or impeding sidewalks pose significant obstacles for snowplows and increase safety risks for drivers and pedestrians alike.
What Happens if I Don’t Move My Vehicle?
Vehicle owners who fail to remove their vehicles from municipal streets during a declared Keep it Clear event will be subject to a $75.00 parking fine, and may be subject to towing with all related costs at owners’ expense.
Stay informed – never miss a Keep It Clear event again!
