Calgarians awoke Monday to find the city covered in snow, prompting Calgary Transit to activate snow detours. Environment Canada forecasts an additional 5 to 10 centimeters of snow throughout the day. The detours are in effect city-wide to prevent buses from becoming stuck and to minimize delays for commuters. They will remain until weather conditions improve, at which point they may be lifted either city-wide or by specific quadrants. Calgary Transit stated that the detours are designed based on areas where buses typically encounter difficulties. The agency also considered customer feedback and input from operators when planning the routes. City crews worked diligently from Sunday evening through Monday morning to ensure that CTrain and MAX platforms, sidewalks, stairs, bus loops, Transitways, and parking lots remained safe and accessible. Orange signs have been placed along detoured routes to inform passengers of any closed bus stops. All school routes will continue to operate as scheduled and will not be affected by the detours. A complete list of bus routes with designated snow detours, along with maps, is available on the Calgary Transit website. Mayor Jeromy Farkas emphasized that city crews are prepared to work around the clock during snowfall. They focus on plowing lanes, applying anti-icing agents to trouble spots like bridge decks, and maintaining safe conditions on the busiest routes. The city prioritizes plowing and applying anti-icing materials on high-volume roads first, including Crowchild Trail, Glenmore Trail, and Memorial Drive. Deerfoot Trail and Stoney Trail are maintained by provincial crews. Additionally, crews will monitor critical areas such as bridges, hills, and major intersections throughout Calgary. Once the snowfall ceases, they will continue plowing roads and clearing pedestrian infrastructure. Within 24 hours after the snow stops, the city plans to perform winter maintenance on over 750 kilometers of prioritized pathways, sidewalks adjacent to city-owned properties, pedestrian bridges, vehicle bridges, LRT platforms, and around 1,300 high-use bus stops. Farkas also reminded Calgarians via social media to prepare for winter conditions during their commutes.
