Ottawa - For the first time this winter, Environment Canada has forecast a snow accumulation of 7 cm or more for the Ottawa area. As a result, the season’s first overnight parking restriction is now in effect from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. across Ottawa. This overnight parking restriction will remain in effect until the City announces it has been lifted.
During an overnight parking restriction residents are reminded that vehicles are banned from parking on any city street so that crews can clear them easily and effectively. Vehicles that remain parked on the street between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. tonight will be ticketed. Avoid the ticket; do not park your vehicle on the street overnight. On-street parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction.
The City of Ottawa’s priority for snow clearing is to ensure that streets are clear and safe for motorists, public transit, pedestrians and cyclists.
Sign up for the City’s Winter Parking e-Alerts to be in the know about snow. You will receive e-mails each time an overnight parking restriction is in effect, if the restriction continues over more than one night and when the restriction has been lifted. The service is free and you can unsubscribe at anytime. Sign up today at ottawa.ca/winterparking.
