Avoid a fine: remove parked vehicles from your street when it snows

By Announcement, Parking

When it snows, vehicles parked on the road can prevent City crews from being able to clear roads and residential driveway windrows, making it difficult for emergency vehicles, public transit and residents to travel.

To make snow clearing safer and more efficient, the City has introduced a new penalty of $150 for those who park their vehicles on the road when the City declares a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction.

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, except in areas identified by signage (e.g. 15-hour maximum). On-street parking on statutory holidays and religious observances is also prohibited. Temporary parking permits and residential parking permits will not be issued and current ones will be suspended.

Stay updated

To find out if a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction is in effect: * Sign up to receive an email alert. * Follow @MississsaugaSnow on X.

* Call 311 (905-615-4311 outside city limits). * Visit mississauga.ca/temporaryparking and mississauga.ca/snowparking.

Metrolinx Update: December Lakeshore West Service Impacts and Weekend Road Widening

By Hurontario LRT, Transit, Ward 1

Reaching out with a few updates that will impact your community.

Throughout December, there will be construction on the Lakeshore West Line that will affect train service. Our team has been sharing this through GO Transit communication channels, and we are encouraging customers to check updated schedules before traveling.

Regarding the notice shared earlier for Mississauga South related to Hazel McCallion Line construction, also wanted to flag that road widening work is planned for this weekend. Some impacts outlines in the notice are expected.

To help support the community, members of our team will be at Port Credit GO Station on Tuesday to speak with customers and answer any questions about both the construction and the December closures.
