When it snows, vehicles parked on the road can prevent City crews from being able to clear roads and, make it difficult for emergency vehicles, public transit and residents to travel.
To make snow clearing safer and more efficient, the City will issue a penalty for those who park their vehicles on the road when the City declares a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction. Temporary parking permits and residential parking permits will not be issued and current ones will be suspended. Residents may be subject to a fine of $150 or towing.
Citywide Winter Parking Restriction
The City will declare a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction when the City needs to plow roadways. When a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction is declared, on-street parking is not allowed, including in areas where there is a 15-hour maximum. The restriction also applies during statutory holidays and religious observances during the winter season. Temporary parking permits and residential parking permits will not be issued and current ones will be suspended.
