Last night at 7 p.m. a citywide parking ban in Edmonton was announced. The ban applies to all major roads throughout the city and is expected to last for five days. As soon as a road has been cleared, parking is permitted. If a car is left parked where snow clearing is happening, it may be ticketed and towed. Crews will be working 24 hours per day which may result in some nighttime noise.
“Snow has been coming down with significant accumulation in the last 48 hours, and a Phase 1 parking ban is necessary to ensure the major roadways are cleared and safe for all vehicles,” said Val Dacyk, General Supervisor, Infrastructure Field Operations, Parks and Roads Services. “Keeping major roadways cleared of parked vehicles is essential for crews to clear roads.”
Once this Phase 1 ban is complete, the city may declare a Phase 2 ban depending on road and weather conditions.
