Snow Route Parking Ban Extended

The City of Prince Albert advises that the Snow Route Parking Ban, which is currently in effect, is being extended.

The re-declared ban is effective from 4 PM on Thursday, Feb 19, to 4 PM on Saturday, Feb 21. Residents and visitors are asked to avoid parking on designated snow routes to ensure safe, efficient snow clearing.

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, as indicated by snow route signs. 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 reissued and will be posted on the City’s Website.

If the Emergency Routes are cleared before the 48 hours have lapsed and there is no threat of a continuing storm, the parking ban may be withdrawn sooner.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 ensure that streets are cleared as safely and efficiently as possible, and would also ask that you assist your neighbour if they are unable to keep their sidewalk free of snow.
