In response to accumulating snowfall, Winnipeg will implement a residential parking ban starting Thursday at 7 a.m., which will last until Sunday at 7 p.m. This action aims to facilitate the clearance of residential streets throughout the city. The ban will primarily affect designated zones, including D, G, H, P, and S, where plowing will occur initially. Citizens can determine their designated zones using a mobile app or by contacting city services.

The city's plan involves deploying approximately 300 pieces of snow-clearing equipment to handle the snowfall effectively. With the recent weather conditions posing challenges for vehicular movement and safety, the city authorities are emphasizing the importance of compliance with the parking ban. Non-compliance carries penalties, including a $200 fine and potential towing of vehicles to ensure that snowplows can operate without obstructions.

This parking ban is a routine measure during winter in Winnipeg, reflecting the city’s ongoing efforts to manage snow-related challenges and ensuring public safety on the roads. Residents are urged to plan accordingly and follow the regulations to avoid inconveniences during this snowy period.
