and equates to:<br />
• 1,050m of new watermain/sewers<br />
• 5.21 lane km’s of new road asphalt<br />
• 1,600m of new concrete curb<br />
• 700m of new concrete sidewalk<br />

Reminder to residents that vehicles are not permitted<br />
to be parked on the roadway during the<br />
winter season as they may hinder or impede the<br />
ploughing and/or removal of snow or ice from<br />
the streets. All such vehicles are subject to towing<br />
and/or ticketing by the RCMP. Also, residents<br />
and businesses removing snow from their property<br />
must do so such that it does not impede<br />
traffic or neighbouring properties. The Town of<br />
Clarenville wishes to thank residents for their<br />
attention and cooperation to this matter.<br />

The Town has committed to improving communications. Towards this end, in <strong>2018</strong>, Council committed<br />
to build a new website and broadcast all public meetings of Council using Facebook Live.<br />
In early 2019 the Town of Clarenville will roll out its new website. (www.clarenville.ca) This site<br />
will feature an easy-to-use interface that will work on any device.<br />
Through the Town’s Offical Facebook Page, you can watch and interact with the biweekly public<br />
meetings of Council. An added feature is that all of these live meetings are archived for later<br />
viewing, any time and from any place. The response to these broadcasts has been outstanding -<br />
with an average of over 500 views per broadcast. Tune in and participate!
