Due
to weather conditions, an overnight winter weather parking ban will be
in effect on Wednesday, December 10 between 7 pm and 7 am across Ottawa.
These hours might be extended if additional
time is needed to complete winter road operations. Alternative parking
during a parking ban can be found by visiting the Winter Parking webpage. Please be sure to remove your vehicle when the ban ends if you use it.
During
a winter weather parking ban, parking is prohibited on city streets so
crews can plow easily and effectively. Vehicles parked on the street
during a ban may be ticketed and towed. On-street monthly parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction when they are parked in residential parking permit zones.
Available parking
During
winter weather parking bans, residents will have access to select OC
Transpo park and rides as well as certain recreation centres. Some City
parking garages are available for parking during winter parking bans,
however it is important that residents take note of what time they need
to remove their car. Visit our winter parking web page for more information about which City facilities are available during winter weather parking bans.
Commercial main streets
To
help residents shop local, some commercial main streets are exempt from
winter parking bans. When a parking ban is called during winter weather
events, residents can park in the identified areas, while observing all posted signage and pay and display requirements.
