Edmonton – The City of Edmonton has started neighbourhood blading.
The City is asking residents to remove vehicles from streets where possible, even though there is no parking ban associated with neighbourhood blading.
Edmontonians can find out when blading is scheduled to happen in their neighbourhood by going to the City of Edmonton website.
Blading is a 24-hour operation which means crews could be working in neighbourhoods at any point during the day.

The City’s Roadway Maintenance has also resumed windrow removal from arterial and collector roadways as well as snow removal from cul-de-sacs.
“We worked through the last four days to improve mobility in those neighbourhoods where the rising temperatures had made streets and alleys impassable,” said Bob Dunford, Director of Roadway Maintenance.
Temporary no-parking signs will be put in place to allow for pick-up of windrows on collector/bus routes and in cul-de-sacs.
The City says windrow removal isn’t done on neighbourhood streets, but windrows will be kept to a maximum of 30 centimeters in front of driveways. They to have that completed by the first week of February.
“This has been a challenging winter, especially with the unseasonably warm temperatures we’ve been getting,” added Dunford. “We understand the frustration voiced by citizens in regards to neighbourhood roads and greatly appreciate the patience everyone has shown.”
