Here's where and when Okotoks' first street sweeping parking bans will be in effect

Parking bans are on the way in Okotoks, with street sweeping operations soon to begin in full.

Parking bans were initially declared to begin on April 2, though last week's snowfall caused a delay, with the first closures pushed a week up.

The first set of parking bans will be in place on Wednesday, April 9, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the following locations:

• Poplar Avenue from Crescent Road to North Railway Street 
• North Railway Street from Crystal Ridge Drive to Lineham Avenue 
• Elma Street East from Veterans to Clark Avenue 
• Clark Avenue from McRae Street to Elma Street East 

While parking bans are in effect, you're asked to remove any vehicles and other obstructions from the road in affected areas.

Waste pickup, emergency services, mail deliveries, and other services are unaffected while parking bans are in effect.

More information on upcoming routes and parking bans can be seen on the Town of Okotoks' website.
