Due to weather conditions, a daytime winter weather parking ban will be in effect on Monday, December 4
between 10 am and 7 pm across Ottawa. These hours might be extended if
additional time is needed to complete winter road operations.
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 ottawa.ca/winterparking 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.
