NEW WESTMINSTER SNOW REMOVAL SERVICES
Built for Steep Grades, Dense Frontages & Low-Lying Queensborough
New Westminster compresses several very different operating environments into a small geographic area: a steep mainland core, dense pedestrian and transit districts, protected employment lands and the flat Queensborough floodplain.
Two Very Different Winter Environments in One City
Downtown and Uptown rise through some of New Westminster’s steeper terrain, while Queensborough is geographically separated, flat and located within the Fraser River floodplain. Uptown itself extends up a steep slope toward a plateau.
A winter plan that works for a large Queensborough commercial lot cannot simply be copied onto a compact Columbia Street property.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY TYPES
Winter Service for New Westminster Commercial Properties
New Westminster combines dense mixed-use centres, healthcare, strata, retail and industrial employment areas within a relatively compact city.
Compact Properties Can Still Have Complex Winter Priorities
One property may combine public sidewalks, underground parking, loading access, storefronts and residential entrances within a tight footprint. Those surfaces cannot always be treated as one service zone.

NEW WESTMINSTER SERVICE AREAS
Commercial Snow Removal Across New Westminster
New Westminster’s service areas differ more by terrain, density and property function than by distance.
Downtown & Quayside
Downtown is New Westminster’s high-density Regional City Centre. Compact sites around Columbia Street, New Westminster Station and the waterfront combine pedestrian traffic, sloped approaches, parkades and limited snow-storage space.
Uptown & Sixth Street
Uptown developed as the city’s second commercial centre and extends uphill to a plateau. Retail, offices, multi-unit buildings and busy sidewalks make grade transitions and pedestrian surfaces important winter priorities.
Sapperton & Brewery District
East Columbia Street, the Brewery District and surrounding Sapperton properties combine active commercial frontage, healthcare-related activity and growing transit-oriented development around Sapperton and Braid stations.
Braid & Brunette Employment Lands
Brunette Avenue and nearby employment areas contain industrial and commercial uses where vehicle circulation, loading access and working space carry more winter importance than street-facing retail conditions.
Queensborough & Queensborough Landing
Queensborough combines commercial, industrial and multi-unit development on a geographically separate floodplain. Its flat terrain and drainage conditions create a fundamentally different winter environment from New Westminster’s hillside mainland.
Twelfth Street, Stewardson & 22nd Street
Upper Twelfth has active commercial frontage, while Twentieth Street and other employment lands support commercial and industrial uses. The 22nd Street SkyTrain area also forms one of New Westminster’s five designated transit-oriented areas.
Also Serving: Victoria Hill, West End, Brow of the Hill, Glenbrooke North, Moody Park, Connaught Heights, Queen’s Park and Port Royal commercial properties.

Pedestrian Frontage Is Increasing
New Westminster has five SkyTrain stations with designated transit-oriented areas.
In June 2026, the City adopted Active Frontage Areas in Downtown, Uptown, Sapperton and Upper Twelfth Street.
Those districts emphasize street-facing retail, restaurants and other pedestrian-generating businesses.
Pedestrian Focus
Sidewalks • Entrances • Crossings
Steep Grades Change the Ice Problem
Uptown stretches up New Westminster’s steep slope toward a plateau.
Sloped driveways, ramps and pedestrian approaches can become difficult before level surfaces do.
Meltwater can also move downslope and create a second ice point away from the original snow pile.
Highest Exposure
Grades • Ramps • Stairs
Queensborough Has a Different Drainage Profile
Queensborough sits within a floodplain and has flat topography.
The City identifies a high groundwater table and drainage systems that rely partly on gravity and pump stations.
Snowmelt should not be piled where it unnecessarily obstructs drainage paths or low points.
Drainage Focus
Low Points • Meltwater • Storage
Employment Lands Need Operating Space
New Westminster identifies employment lands including Twentieth Street, Brunette Avenue, mixed-employment and industrial areas.
These districts include auto-oriented commercial and industrial activity.
Snow placement must preserve truck manoeuvring, loading approaches and usable working space.
Operations Focus
Trucks • Loading • Turning Space
Sidewalks Have a 10:00 AM Requirement
Owners or occupiers must remove snow and ice from bordering sidewalks by 10:00 a.m. the day after it was deposited.
The bylaw requires the full width to be cleared down to bare concrete and also covers transit landings, curb letdowns and footpaths bordering the property.
City guidance says not to shovel snow into the street and not to use table, rock salt or sodium-based products on municipal sidewalks.
Compliance Focus
Full Width • Bare Concrete • 10:00 AM
