The City of Barrie continues to plug away at snow-clearing operations.

The City says crews are now tackling roads that are narrowed from so much snow.

It is also working away at those big winter walls that create obstruction for vehicles and pedestrians.

So far this winter, 300 centimetres, the equivalent of just over 9.5 feet, of snow has fallen in Barrie.

Since Jan. 4, crews have cleared 250 kilometres of roads throughout the city.

The City uses a combination of staff and contractors to plow, sand and salt the roads, officials say, while taking into consideration safety, the environment and budget.
