City crews are stepping up road sanding efforts in an attempt to mitigate the effects of icy conditions on Winnipeg streets.

The city’s manager of streets maintenance, Michael Cantor , said the sand can have a tendency to fly off the roads, especially in high-traffic and high-speed areas.

“Sand tends to not stay on the streets so we need to re-sand some locations,” Cantor said.
