Cleanup from Sunday's snow storm is expected to cost the City of Windsor about $500,000.
Acting city engineer Mark Winterton says the streets are already looking much better, as work continues. "Most, if not all, of the residential streets will be at least passable (by Tuesday morning). And then we'll get into clean-up mode, which will probably take most of the next 24 hours to get all the cleanup; all the corners, the bus bays, the wheelchair ramps and all the little cleanup pieces."
Winterton says snow removal and cleanup costs about $10,000 per hour, and crews have been battling to keep Windsor streets clean since about 6am on Sunday.
The engineer explains that there's about $2.8-million budgeted for snow removal this year.
