Parking restrictions in place as city issues snow route parking ban

Snow route parking ban in effect Alesia Fieldberg has reaction following the issuing of the 72 hour parking ban on designated roads.

A snow route parking ban went into effect at 9:00 a.m. on Monday morning and parking will be restricted on designated roadways for the next 72 hours.

The routes are marked by blue signs with a white snowflake on them and include major roads, access roads to residential areas and bus routes.

The parking ban allows crews to clear the snow from curb to curb and gives them room to work.

“Calgarians who live on the snow routes are asked to move their vehicles while the parking ban is in effect,” said John Bolger, Roads Manager.

Vehicles that are not moved from designated routes could be ticketed and/or towed. Exceptions are in place for on-street, accessible parking zones.

The ban will remain in place until 9:00 a.m. Wednesday but will be lifted if crews complete the work sooner.
