The City of Edmonton has declared a seasonal parking ban on “priority routes” starting 7 a.m. Monday.

Vehicles left on the designated parking ban routes past 7 a.m. could be tagged or towed as long as the ban is in effect.

The city said the ban will remain in effect until plowing across the city is finished.

“With the snowfall over the weekend, we are focusing our efforts on arterial roads, bus routes and collector roads,” said Eduardo Sosa, Director of Roadway Maintenance. “Please find alternate parking if you park on a designated No seasonal parking area, so we can clear the roads quickly and efficiently.”

The city does not expect to have a neighbourhood blading cycle right now.
