Update 3 - No Snow Route Parking Ban

Update #3: No Snow Route Parking Ban

The City will not need to call a Snow Route Parking Ban in regards to the last snowfall. Crews will continue to move into the residential areas this evening, and begin snow removal throughout the downtown core overnight.

The City would like to remind Calgarians to avoid parking along roadways marked with overnight parking restrictions in the downtown area, as City snow removal crews will be maintaining these areas.

Although Calgary received more than 20 centimetres of snow on Sunday, March 3, City crews were prepared well in advance for the snow and able to maintain the roadways as the snow fell.

This snow storm varied significantly from the storm that hit Calgary on January 11, where a Parking Ban was called. January’s snow storm maintained lower road surface and air temperatures, which preserved the snow on the roadways.

We would like to thank Calgarians for their cooperation while we maintain our city’s roadways.

For a closer look at how The City removes snow from the roadways, please watch this video on our snow removal program. Visit Calgary.ca/roadconditions or download The City of Calgary’s Road Conditions App to stay informed on our city’s road conditions.
