The ban begins again at 7 a.m. Thursday morning for zones D, F, H, K, N, R and U for another 12 hours.

Overnight Thursday sees residents of zones E, G, J, L, P, Q and T unable to park on the street from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. Friday morning.

Zone B is the subject of the ban during the daytime on Friday, from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

The last zone to be plowed is zone A, which will see snow clearing on Friday from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. Saturday.

Anyone violating the winter parking ban faces a fine of $100 – or $50 if paid early. The residential parking ban will cost rule-breakers $150 per ticket, or $75 if paid in less than two weeks.

The city also warns residents their vehicles may be towed if they get in the way of snow removal efforts.

A winter parking ban is in effect in all snow routes beginning at midnight Monday until 7 a.m. Tuesday and will remain in place overnight Tuesday until Wednesday morning as well.

Back lane plowing begin Tuesday morning, as the city has put much of its snow clearing focus on main roads and bus routes thus far.
