Program Overview

The rural roadside mowing program experienced a delayed start this year, beginning in June rather than the originally planned May timeline due to contractor transitions. To maintain service levels, the City added a third contractor in August.

Weather conditions have also played a role in timing adjustments. The warmer, drier conditions this season slowed grass growth compared to typical wetter years, allowing for some flexibility in scheduling while ensuring all safety and maintenance standards are met.

Safety Priority

Throughout the cutting season, the City continues to prioritize road safety and sightline maintenance across all areas.

The program remains on track to deliver the usual level of service to Ward 11 residents, with all areas receiving proper maintenance before the winter season.
