Winnipeg, MB - To assist in the further removal of compacted snow on the streets, grader plowing will begin at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday January 1, 2014, on the regional network, followed by the collector/bus route network. To assist this operation, the Declared Snow Route Parking Ban will be enacted beginning at 12:00 a.m., Thursday, January 2, 2014.
The Declared Snow Route Parking Ban is an extension of the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban, which is currently in effect daily from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.; Sunday, December 1, 2013 to Saturday, March 1, 2014.
Vehicles parked in violation of the Declared Snow Route Parking Ban will receive a $100 ticket and may be towed to the towing company’s compound. The ban will be in place until snow clearing is completed and the public will be notified when the Declared Snow Route Parking Ban is lifted.
Residential streets will be assessed at the end of the regional and collector/bus route grader plow. Weather information has forecasted a system entering into the Winnipeg region for Friday, January 3, 2014. As the date approaches, the City will determine if residential clearing operations are required.
Snow clearing operations are undertaken in accordance with the City Council-approved Snow Clearing and Ice Control Policy, which can be found online at City of Winnipeg - Snow Clearing Policy
