The City of Edmonton has declared a seasonal parking ban effective Sunday, November 10 at 11 p.m.
“Over the last two days, we’ve seen roughly 15 cm of snow fall throughout the City. To help crews clear the roads to a safe driving surface, we’re declaring a seasonal parking ban which will enable us to bring in additional contractors to help clear the roads,” said Andrew Grant, General Supervisor of Infrastructure Field Operations, Parks and Roads Services. ”We’re asking Edmontonians to keep the freeways, arterials, collector and bus routes clear so that crews can complete their work efficiently and with minimal obstruction.”
Vehicles parked on designated seasonal parking ban routes after 11 p.m. on Sunday, November 10, will be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. The parking ban is in effect until the City announces that it has been lifted. Seasonal parking ban routes are clearly marked. Crews and equipment will be working 24 hours a day until roads are clear.
This seasonal parking ban is not the residential parking ban pilot in Gold Bar and Silver Berry. Residents in those communities are not required to move their vehicles unless they live on a seasonal parking ban route.
Motorists are advised to drive to conditions and maintain a safe following distance between vehicles. Give snow and ice clearing crews room to work as they work to get the roads cleared.
