NEW! Policy 99: Winter Maintenance
Winter Maintenance – Facilities and Parking
Did you know that Region of Queens Municipality is responsible for winter maintenance of Municipal Administration Building, Liverpool Business Development Centre, Waterfront Parking (along Henry Hensey Drive), and Main Street Downtown Parking? Winter maintenance includes snow removal, anti-icing, and de-icing work that is carried out by Region of Queens Municipality Department of Infrastructure staff before, during, and after a winter storm.
Region of Queens Municipality recognizes that winter conditions don’t mean that everything comes to a stop. The information in the graphic with this post provides information about the Priority Parking Areas, the expected timelines, and level of service for each of the identified areas, so you know what to expect in winter. Whether it’s work or an appointment, sometimes you have to be out in bad weather. Parking your vehicle in serviced Priority Parking Areas allows our winter maintenance crews more room to operate safely and efficiently. Times are determined based on an average winter storm and may vary depending on the severity of the storm.
We know this is a lot of information to put in one graphic and may be hard to see well. To help people to access this information, a downloadable pdf of the winter maintenance flyer for facilities and parking is available b6 clicking the graphic or click here.
Below is information and a pdf for winter maintenance for roads and streets, which was posted last week.

*******************************************************************************
The Region of Queens Municipality provides all needed maintenance to streets, sidewalks, and curbs within the community limits of Liverpool as well as sidewalks and curbs in Milton, Brooklyn and Caledonia. During winter, roads and sidewalks within Liverpool and sidewalks within Caledonia are plowed and salted/sanded as necessary. Our Department of Infrastructure is also responsible for maintenance to municipally owned buildings, municipal garbage boxes, and numerous dry hydrants.
Motor Vehicle Act of Nova Scotia requires that each town or former town in Nova Scotia appoint its own traffic authority to enforce certain provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act. Adam Grant, P.Eng. serves as the Traffic Authority for Liverpool and Garrett Chetwynd, P.Eng. in his absence. Traffic Authority reviews requests for road closures, parades, emergency safety plans as they relate to transportation routes, planned detours, traffic signage, etc. The traffic authority for all areas outside Liverpool is governed by the Provincial Traffic Authority and their Deputy Provincial Traffic Authorities. To learn more about the appointment of the Traffic Authority, click this link.
