Snow routes are designated along priority street for snow plowing so emergency vehicles can get around quickly and safely.

Tickets for violating the ban are $100, which can be reduced to $50 if paid early.

The city is encouraging drivers to check street signs for snow routes or call 311 if you’re unsure.
