A Snow Event has been declared and will begin at 7 p.m. tonight, March 3. All on-street parking is prohibited until the event is over.
Vehicles parked on-street during a Snow Event may be ticketed or towed.
Residential roads are plowed AFTER primary and secondary roads are cleared and the snow-fall has stopped. Please give us time to clear the roads. Primary roads are the main East-West and North-South roads. Examples of primary roads include the QEW, Brant Street, Guelph Line, Appleby Line, Dundas Street, Mainway, Lakeshore Road, Plains Road and Upper Middle.
Examples of secondary roads include Spruce Avenue, Sutton, Headon Forest, Millcroft Park Drive and streets within the downtown core.

Plows are clearing residential roads. Please make sure that your vehicles are off the road to allow City plows to clear the roads completely – there is no on-street parking until the event has ended.
Sidewalk and bus shelters are being cleared.
Please do not place snow back into the roadway from your driveway. It is against the City Bylaw, and the Highway Traffic Act.
