Snow Route Parking Ban Declared DRAFT

Following snowfall overnight, heavy winds and blowing snow, the City of Prince Albert would like to advise that a Snow Route Parking Ban has been declared effective ____________-

Parking is prohibited on Snow Routes when a Snow Route Parking Ban is declared. These streets are marked with permanent “No Parking When Declared” signs.

The parking ban will require drivers to immediately remove their vehicles from Snow Routes which are marked by a snow route sign. For City crews to effectively clear all streets marked with a Snow Route Parking Ban sign, vehicles not removed from the street will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.

Parking bans are temporary, usually lasting 48 hours, unless persistent snowfall requires a parking ban to be re-declared. In the event that a parking ban is declared, notices will be re-issued and will be posted on the City’s Website.

If the Emergency Routes are cleared before the 48 hours has lapsed and there is no threat of a continuing storm, the parking ban may be withdrawn sooner.  In this case, a posting will be made on the City website and notifications will be sent to local media.

The City appreciates your cooperation in helping us to ensure that streets are cleared as safely and efficiently as possible and would also ask that you assist your neighbour if they are not able to keep their sidewalk free of snow.
