Happy Spring!
As we welcome the new season, we’re sharing some important tips on conserving water, keeping our streets clear, and preparing for the upcoming dry season.
Keeping Storm Drains Clear This Spring
Spring brings melting snow and rain, making it vital to keep storm drains clear. Calgary has around 60,000 storm drains working to manage water and runoff from sidewalks, streets, and roads.
If it’s safe and possible, please remove any debris or snow blocking the storm drains in your area. Creating a small channel can also help water flow freely. In communities built after 1990, devices have been installed in storm drains to control the speed at which water enters the system. These devices allow water to pool on the road in certain low spots, known as “trap lows,” until the stormwater system is able to accept the excess water.
If the storm drain is submerged for more than 90 minutes, or if you’re unable to safely clear ice and snow, take a photo and submit it through the 3-1-1 App or a web request. This helps our crews prioritize their response.
For more information and to locate your nearest storm drain, visit calgary.ca/stormdrains.
Rezoning for Housing Strategy: Public Hearing – April 22
The Public Hearing will take place on April 22, and there are several ways you can share your feedback before then:
• Until April 11, you can submit your comments via the Engage Portal for Rezoning for Housing. These comments will be used to create the “What We Heard” report for City Administration and Council. Rest assured; all submissions are anonymous.
• You can also have your submission included in the Public Report which will be attached to the Calgary Planning Commission’s “Public Submissions” for the April 22 Public Hearing.
The deadline for public submissions is April 15. If you’re interested in speaking at the April 22 Public Hearing, you can learn more about the process and sign up at calgary.ca/publichearing.
