Snow removal in St. John's, NL
Book local snow removal in St. John's
St. John's has steep hills, rowhouses built right to the sidewalk downtown, and many homes with no driveway at all, so snow piles up fast around parked cars and front steps. The City clears a prioritized network of sidewalks along busier streets, while residents handle their own driveways and walks and must keep snow on their own property rather than in the street.
