Not As Many Vehicles Towed In Latest Street Parking Ban

City Police have been told a dozen vehicles were towed after the City issued a temporary overnight snow ban for the South/Central peninsula.

Parking on the streets was not allowed anywhere in that part of the city between 11pm and 7am. Any vehicles remaining on the street were towed to allow for snow removal. Police tell CHSJ News there are some streets where you can barely get a car through let alone a fire truck if there is an emergency.

In the last snow ban, more than 50 vehicles were towed.

To find the snow ban number or see the City's Winter Management Plan, go to country94.ca and click news.

Meantime, Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning of the possibility of significant accumulation from the snow that is expected to come our way Saturday night into Sunday morning. The Weather Network is calling for over 10 centimeters.
