-If you live in the city of Edmonton, a “Phase 1” seasonal parking ban goes into effect tonight.
It means you’ll need to get your vehicles off major roads, bus routes, arterial and collector roads, until crews have been able to get to the snow.
You will be able to park on residential roads, as long as there aren’t any “seasonal no parking” signs.
The ban goes into effect at 7 this evening.
Vehicles parked on Phase 1 parking ban routes after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 8, may be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense. If your vehicle is towed, it will be moved to the nearest cleared roadway and can be located by contacting 311. Crews and equipment will be working 24 hours a day until Phase 1 (Major roads) are clear.
Currently, there are no plans to call a Phase 2 (Residential & Industrial) parking ban once the Phase 1 (Major roads) parking ban has been completed, however we will continue to monitor the snow conditions.
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.
Learn about how we prioritize roads and sign up for the new parking ban notification tool, that gives 24hr advance notice of when crews will be in your area at edmonton.ca/SafeTravels.
