The city is in good shape when it comes to its snow and ice control budget.
A warm winter so far means they were able to save about $2-million at the end of 2015, to be put into reserves.
The budget was also in a “favourable position” heading out of January.
Roads Spokesperson Brittany Kustra says that doesn’t mean crews aren’t still out on the roads, working hard.
“We work on sanding icy patches, we work on potholes, snow fence repair — there are a lot of projects we are able to accomplish when the weather is warm, but we are doing less ploughing,” she said.
However, Kustra says they are putting down a lot less salt and pickle mix.
