Declared Snow Route Parking Ban in effect starting tonight at
midnight
Parking prohibited on snow routes from midnight to 7:00 a.m.
In order to
facilitate a major clearing operation on main routes, bus routes and
collector streets, a Declared Snow Route Parking Ban will be in effect
starting tonight at midnight (Wednesday, January 4 at 12:00 a.m.).
The Declared Snow Route
Parking Ban extends the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban by two hours,
prohibiting parking on any designated snow route between midnight and 7:00
a.m.
Due to further
accumulations of snow combined with high winds, City crews are continuing to
sand and plow main routes, bus routes and collector streets today. This
evening, the snow clearing operation will be expanded to utilize motor
graders and front-end loaders to improve the overall condition of the
Priority 1 and Priority 2 street network.
Sidewalks on main
routes and active transportation paths adjacent to main routes are also being
cleared until completed. Back lane clearing will start Wednesday morning at
7:00 a.m. and will continue until completed.
Crews are continuing
with the major snow hauling operation on main routes to improve snow storage
capacity on the boulevard, as well as with high-pile relocation to improve
sightlines at intersections.
Avoid a ticket
and tow
Vehicles parked in
violation of the Declared Snow Route Parking Ban may receive a $100 ticket
($50 if paid early), and may be towed to the towing company’s compound. The
Declared Snow Route Parking Ban will be in place until snow clearing is
completed and the public will be notified when the ban is lifted. At such
time, the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban will continue to be in effect from
2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.
