Abstract Manager

The City of Edmonton is committed to fostering community safety and accessibility. In that commitment we introduce a comprehensive notification system designed to streamline and improve residential road clearing and snow and ice operations. With a focus on proactive communication, transparency and efficient operations, this system aims to keep residents informed and ensure smooth, timely clearance during challenging weather conditions.

Goals:

Timely Notifications: Implement a robust notification system to alert more residents about scheduled road clearing and snow/ice operations in their neighborhoods.

Enhanced Accessibility: Prioritize accessibility for all residents by providing timely information and accommodating special needs during clearing operations.

Public Engagement: Listening to residents feedback demanding transparency and value for their tax dollars.

Efficient Operations: Optimize road clearing operations through data-driven decisions and strategic planning based on weather forecasts and real-time updates.

Features:

Real-time Alerts: Receive instant notifications about upcoming road clearing schedules and any changes due to weather conditions.

Customizable Preferences: Residents can set preferences for notification channels (SMS, email, app notifications) and location information for City wide or area specific notifications. 

Linked Live Location Information: Paired with the recently developed live map, residents can real time see when their area will be cleared.

The Snow and Ice Operations Notification System is a proactive approach to ensure community safety, accessibility, and engagement. By leveraging technology and fostering open communication, we aim to create a resilient and inclusive environment where residents feel informed, supported, and connected.
