It is important to note several snow zones have been reconfigured for the 2022 season to make operations more efficient and effective. Residents are urged to confirm their zone letter in advance of the ban and to avoid on-street parking when cleaning is scheduled for their street. 

As well, all drivers should check the address of any location at which they plan to park throughout the winter to determine what, if any, seasonal restrictions are in place 

This can by done using our Address Lookup Tool, by downloading and using the Know Your Zone app, or by contacting 311

Other parking bans: 
The Extended Winter Route Parking Ban that is currently in effect will be lifted on Sunday, December 18 at 7 a.m. 

The Annual Winter Route Parking Ban will remain in place until further notice, prohibiting parking on designated winter routes between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. daily. 

Parking ban enforcement: 
Residents who park on the street are encouraged to make alternate parking arrangements, such as using an off-street driveway or parking lot. 

Vehicles parked in violation of the Residential Parking Ban may receive a $200 ticket ($150 if paid early) and may be towed to a nearby street that doesn’t have restrictions. 

Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology will be used to identify vehicles parked in violation of Residential Parking Bans to ensure greater city-wide parking enforcement coverage, improve motorist compliance with winter parking bans, and improve our overall snow clearing service. Those parked in violation will receive tickets in the mail, rather than on the windshield of their vehicle; however, enforcement officers will continue to hand-deliver penalty notices to vehicles when necessary.

If a resident believes their vehicle may have been towed due to the Residential Parking Ban, they are asked to contact 311 for assistance locating it.

Reporting a missed street: 
If a residential street was not cleared as scheduled, residents are asked to wait until the Residential Parking Ban is lifted as crews may return to any given street within the operation’s duration. If the street remains uncleared after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, residents should then report it to 311. Residents can also report the location following the ban’s conclusion using the quick and convenient online form.

Additional information:
Approximately 300 pieces of heavy equipment will be used for this snow clearing operation. Motorists are reminded to drive to conditions and to use extreme caution when driving near heavy equipment.
