Timmins Public Works plans to suspend overnight snow-removal operations ahead of a “forecasted large-scale snowstorm,” while also publishing a list of streets scheduled for snow removal between March 15 and March 21.

The city’s weekly notice is meant to let residents know when snow-removal equipment may be working in their area, and it outlines separate daytime and overnight windows for crews.

The City of Timmins said night-shift snow removal will be suspended “due to the forecasted large-scale snowstorm.” The city said the change is to reposition crews and equipment before snowfall begins. The notice does not say when the storm is expected to start.

In the same notice, the city listed snow-removal start-and-finish windows of 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. for overnight work, and 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for daytime work.

The post lists two overnight routes:

Overnight snow removal (9 p.m. to 7 a.m.)

  • Tuesday, March 17 (night): Elm St. (Sixth Ave. to Second Ave.), Second Ave., Third Ave.
  • Wednesday, March 18 (night): Cedar St. (Fifth Ave. to First Ave.), Pine St. (Sixth Ave. to Kirby Ave.), Spruce St. (Sixth Ave. to Kirby Ave.)

Daytime snow removal is listed for four days:

Daytime snow removal (7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

  • Tuesday, March 17 (day): Croatia Ave., Fahter Costello Dr. (as spelled on the city notice), Hemlock St., Spruce St., Tamarack St., Vipond Rd.
  • Wednesday, March 18 (day): Belanger Ave., Crawford St. (Powell Ave. to Broadway Ave.), Golden Ave. (Main St. to Evans St.), Huot St. (Powell Ave. to North End), Powell Ave. (Crawford St. to Main St.)
  • Thursday, March 19 (day): Aura Lake St., Battochio St., Elm St. S. (First Ave. to Dead End), Grant St., Lions Crest Ln., Maple St. S. (First Ave. to Dead End)
