Interactive Winter Operations Map
The City of Pickering is currently experiencing technical issues with its Interactive Winter Operations Map. As a result, the portal may display some inaccuracies, such as roads appearing plowed when they have only been salted. Until this issue has been resolved, please do not rely on the map for current road conditions.
The City has contacted the external service provider for investigation. We will provide you with an update once they have resolved the issue.
Please note: this is a display issue only. Winter operations are fully underway and will not be affected by the portal’s technical issue. Thank you for your patience as crews work safely to complete the snow-clearing process.
Please visit pickering.ca/SnowClearing for winter reminders, snow safety tips, and more.
