The City of Grande Prairie has announced parking bans on permanent snow routes beginning on February 27th.
The bans restrict parking on permanent snow routes from Monday to Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
The city says the bans are necessary to ensure safe access to roadways for snow removal vehicles and crews during operations.
Residents parking on Priority 1 and 2 roads are asked to relocate their vehicles in two scenarios- if there is a windrow (snow at the bottom of a driveway) down the center or a parking ban has been declared (Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.)
The City adds that a notice will be issued on the city’s website and social media to inform residents once the parking ban is lifted.
