Snow Removal: The City is improving how they clear snow in your neighbourhood and is introducing a new two-phase parking ban, starting winter 2020. Visit edmonton.ca/safetravels to sign up for email alerts, learn more about the new ban, and find out if your street is included in Phase 1 or Phase 2. You can also check out the common questions about the ban on the "Winter Roads Frequently Asked Questions" page. And remember, for crews to clear streets quickly and safely, vehicles need to be off the street during major snow events so be prepared for parking bans by making your parking plan before the first snowfall!
