Winnipeg, MB - The Declared Snow Route Parking Ban that was put into effect at 12:00 a.m., Friday, December 18 has now been lifted. 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. until March 1, 2016.
A Residential Parking Ban will begin today, Saturday, December 19 at 7:00 p.m. to facilitate plowing of residential streets.
Residential streets in snow zones D, F, H, M, N, R and U will be plowed from 7:00 p.m. Saturday evening until 7:00 a.m. Sunday.
Citizens are urged to confirm their snow zone letter in order to determine when their residential street is scheduled for clearing.

Avoid a ticket and tow
Residents are urged to find an alternate place to park such as an off-street driveway or parking lot, or a nearby street that is not currently scheduled for plowing. This will help the plowing operation run smoothly and will prevent you from being ticketed and towed.
Vehicles parked in violation of the Residential Parking Ban may be towed to a nearby street that is not scheduled to be plowed, or has already been cleared. If you believe your vehicle may have been towed due to the Residential Parking Ban, please contact 311 for assistance in locating it.
Stay back, stay safe
More than 400 pieces of heavy equipment will be used for this snow clearing operation so motorists are reminded to drive to road conditions and to use extreme caution when driving near any snow clearing equipment or sanding trucks.
