Calgary weather forces Snow Route Parking Ban

CALGARY – The City of Calgary declared a Snow Event on Wednesday, which means a Snow Route Parking Ban is in place until further notice.

Residents parked on designated Snow Routes must move their vehicles – and can be ticketed or towed if they don’t.

Snow Routes include major roadways, collector roads and most bus routes, and are marked by blue signs with a white snowflake.

A map and full list of Snow Route locations is available on Calgary.ca/snow.

The ban went into place at 9 a.m. on Wednesday and could last for up to 72 hours.
