Winter Event Parking Ban
During a significant weather event, vehicles parked on the roadway prevent winter maintenance crews from clearing the roadway of snow in a timely and efficient manner. When a snow plow is forced to go around a parked vehicle it leaves an embankment of snow which creates difficulty for other drivers and allows for a build up of snow to occur on the roadway.
When weather forecast and/or actual weather conditions meet hazardous conditions, such as 20 to 25 cm of snow within 24 hours and ice accumulation of 20 mm, the City may declare an on-street parking ban to allow for safe and efficient snow removal throughout the City. This will be communicated as an alert on the City's website and social media channels. Learn more at this link.
