‘No Parking’ Signs 

Please watch for ‘No Parking’ signs and move parked vehicles from roads when the signs are posted. 

Removing your vehicle from the roadway when ‘No Parking’ signs are posted in advance of snow removal operations is a requirement under the Town’s Traffic Bylaw and can result in fines and towing of the vehicle at the owner’s expense if needed. 

Removing your vehicle from the road also helps crews conduct snow and ice control operations safely and more efficiently.

Community Advisory Signs

Community advisory signs are also posted in residential neighbourhoods 48 hours in advance of snow removal operations to give residents notice of when snow removal is scheduled to occur.

Please note that changing weather conditions and new snowfall events can require crews to direct their attention back to priority routes and delay planned snow removal operations. As a result, crews may not complete the entire zone and will return at a later date.
