The city of Red Deer is asking children to stay away from snow windrows piled along city side streets for safety reasons.
Greg Sikora, city public works manager, said parents should keep children from walking on or playing in the piles of road snow that have been plowed to one sides of many streets.
“We are asking residents to not let children dig tunnels or holes into the large piles of snow, as there may be a risk of collapse,” Sikora said.
Residents are further asked to be aware of children in proximity to the roadways.
