The City of Guelph says a residential plow-out will commence overnight on Wednesday.

The operation will get underway at 1 a.m. on Feb 13. and will continue until all roads, bike lanes, sidewalks and trails are plowed.

The city is asking drivers to move all parked cars off of the streets so plows can pass.

“We appreciate your patience as we work throughout the evening to remove the snow,” the city said in a statement.
