The Town of The Blue Mountains is proud to release a new interactive Snow Plowing Progress map on the Town's Open Data Hub. The map has been developed internally by staff and allows the public to see when roads throughout the municipality were last plowed. The data is gathered through GPS systems installed in the Town’s snow plows, and is intended to support residents with trip planning during winter months.
