They do from Main Street, St George Street, Assumption Blvd and a couple of the cross connecting streets, but many of the downtown side streets where parking is possible become cattle paths in the winter time. The city often is slow with the snow removal effort too, mostly because they deploy their assets elsewhere to make sure the streets elsewhere in the community are passable.
BTW, this isn't meant to impugn the valiant efforts of the city works crews. In general I think we get good value for the dollar in terms of snow clearing in Moncton. It's just that the elimination of snowbanks in the core and the widening of the streets to allow for on street parking has a very low priority as far as the city is concerned. I don't know if this will change once the events centre opens......
