The city said 113 tickets were issued, along with one warning and 12 vehicles were towed.

A Phase 2 parking ban for residential and industrial roads will not be activated at this time.

City crews will continue to maintain roadways, pathways and will assess windrows in school zones across Edmonton.

For school zones with large windrows, heavy equipment will stack and remove snow before school resumes.

Drivers are warned that street parking is prohibited in those zones while the work is ongoing and will be indicated by temporary “no parking” signs. Parking will resume after the school zone clearing is completed.

School zone clearing will run daily from Dec. 22 to Jan. 4.

Property owners and residents are also being reminded to clear sidewalks near their properties after every snowfall.

The city asks anyone who has winter road concerns to report it through 311.
