Town Tools builds free, public tools for Greater Sudbury and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

Neighbours are starting to report the roads — tap to see.
How are the roads where you are, right now? Greater Sudbury clears about 3,700 lane-kilometres across 3,200 km², in priority order, so the same storm leaves the main roads bare and a side road in Capreol or Levack still snow-packed. Neighbours say how their part of the city is at the moment. Tap yours to add what you are seeing.

Downtown, New Sudbury and the South End
The old city of Sudbury, where most of the main roads are.
No reports yet
Valley East
Hanmer, Val Caron and the communities around them.
These are neighbours, not an official service. Live closures and incidents are here: City of Greater Sudbury — plow status and 311 — The City's plow-status map shows where the plows are. For a road that has not been cleared or a plow that damaged your property, call 311.Report a hazard: 311
How this works
Each report counts for about 12 hours, then drops off on its own. A road shows once at least 1 recent report is in; when several are in we show the middle one, so a single voice can’t swing it.
A plan for outlying roads, not a mistake
A road in a smaller community looking worse than one downtown is often what the City's service levels describe rather than a missed road — the When Will My Street Be Plowed page explains the two tiers. This board is for what that page cannot show: how it is out there right now.
These are reports from neighbours, not the City, and conditions change fast — after a plow goes through, or when the temperature crosses zero. The City aims to have main roads bare within 3 to 8 hours after the snow stops and residential and rural roads snow-packed and sanded within 8 to 24 hours, and the clock is paused during a declared Significant Weather Event. In an emergency, call 911.
