Brant County Declares Significant Weather Event

Wednesday, 6 February 2019 09:31

The County of Brant has declared a Significant Weather Event and is warning residents that roads, sidewalks and bike lanes will continue to deteriorate throughout the day.

UPDATE: The County of Brant has cancelled the Significant Weather Event.

BRANT COUNTY - The County of Brant has declared a Significant Weather Event. 

A Significant Weather Event is defined as "an approaching or occurring weather hazard with the potential to pose a significant danger to users of the highways within a municipality." The County made the declaration to warn everyone of the condition of the roads, bike lanes and sidewalks will continue to deteriorate because of the freezing rain, and it may taken longer than normal to restore. Everyone is reminded to slow down and use extreme caution on the roads today. If you don't have to travel, it's best to stay home. 

When the declaration is cancelled, the municipality shall address any maintenance issues pursuant to the regular standards for maintenance i.e. within the time prescribed in the standard. Please note, declaring the end of the event does not mean the roads, bike lanes and sidewalks are in a good condition. It only means that the County of Brant now feels that the weather has subsided enough that we can meet our required maintenance objective timelines.

Motorists should check road and weather conditions before going out and refrain from unnecessary travel if conditions are poor.

Please be assured that the County of Brant Roads Crew are working diligently to restore the roads to a safe condition.
