The City of Lethbridge and Lethbridge School Divisions are working together to improve transportation safety in school areas. Visibility of crosswalks near schools is important to ensure the safety of children walking to and from school or during drop-off and pick-up periods.

While we’re still enjoying summer weather, residents who live on snow routes are asked to consider an optional service that will be piloted this winter. In the first two weeks of September, the City will hand-deliver postcards to each home along snow routes with more information about the new Snow Route Windrow Assistance Service. This new service is designed to help residents who face mobility challenges when navigating windrows. 

Snow route residents are encouraged to learn about the service and if applicable, call 311 between September 16 -27 to register. The sign-up window is the only time residents can subscribe for the 2024/2025 winter season and no early sign-up will be available.
