The City of Winkler has updated its traffic and parking by-law which will help out snow clearing crews through the winter months. Updates to the by-law include the implementation of a snow parking ban effective between October 1st and April 30th of each year.
Through the winter months, snow route parking restrictions may be implemented during a snow event to expediently and efficiently complete snow-clearing activities.
While a ban is in place, parking on the street will be prohibited until streets have been cleared to the curb.
Twenty-four hours' notice will be given before a parking ban is enforced.
Notifications will be shared through the city's social media pages, a website notice, or via text message. Only residents who are signed up to receive text messages through Connect Winkler will get the text notifications on their mobile devices.
Vehicles that are not removed from the street after the notification period, could be ticketed, or towed at the owner’s expense.
Full details on the Snow Parking Ban can be found on the City of Winkler website.
