City issues winter parking ban for Saturday night
Posted Mar 4, 2023 01:02:00 PM.
With the capital expected to receive up to 15 centimetres of snow, the City of Ottawa is issuing a winter weather parking ban, which comes into effect on Saturday, March 4 at 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. Sunday, March 5.
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.
