Winnipeg, MB – A Residential Parking Ban has been declared and will be in effect starting this evening at 7 p.m. as crews shift focus to improving the condition of residential streets. The Declared Snow Route Parking Ban that was put into effect at 12 a.m. Monday, March 5 has now been lifted.
Crews will finish up plowing operations on main routes, bus routes and collector streets today and are continuing with back lane plowing until complete. Sidewalk and active transportation plowing is experiencing some delays due to colder weather and snow density. The City is adding more snow blowers to the sidewalk clearing effort, however, it may take additional time to complete the entire 2,900 km network. Citizens’ patience is appreciated while we work to complete this major snow clearing operation.
Know Your Zone
Citizens are urged to confirm their snow zone letter in order to determine when their residential street is scheduled for clearing. Visit knowyourzone.winnipeg.ca or download the Know Your Zone app for schedule and snow zone information. Citizens who park on the street are encouraged to make alternate parking arrangements during the 12-hour window their street is scheduled to be cleared. This will help the plowing operation run smoothly and will prevent you from being ticketed and towed. The Residential Parking Ban will be in effect from Wednesday at 7 p.m. until Saturday at 7 a.m.
