This is your chance to be part of something special and to see the names you love out on the streets, making a real difference in our daily lives over the winter months.

- Potholes are a result of the freeze/thaw weather cycles that deteriorate our road surfaces. During the freeze/thaw, water seeps into the crevices of the road. Fluctuations in temperature, vibrations and traffic volumes all create stress on the asphalt road surface, which can result in potholes. If you see a pothole that needs to be filled on a City street please call 3-1-1 or make a service request : https://so311.serviceottawa.ca/selfse....
- For years, we’ve used broadband back-up alarms on City snow clearing vehicles. These new alarms produce a different sound than the traditional ones . The new style of alarms produce white noise and their volume level can be adjusted according to the environment. This creates a louder pitch when surrounding traffic is heavier and a quieter pitch when traffic is lighter.
- While you enjoy the holidays, our dedicated #OttCity snow plow operators are on call and ready for when a storm rolls in. Meet Brock, who works the night shift and keeps our transportation network safe and clear for residents the next morning. https://ottawa.ca/en/parking-roads-an...
