The City of Saint John has declared a temporary overnight parking ban for the south and central peninsula Sunday.
The ban goes into effect at 11 p.m. and will last until 7 a.m. on Monday.
This means that there is no on-street parking anywhere in the south and central peninsula area.
The decision comes after the Saint John Airport recorded 16 cm of snow on Saturday, according to totals from Environment Canada.
The city has stressed that any vehicles parked on the street after the ban comes into effect will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s risk and expense.
Six parking commission parking lots will be cleared for use by on-street parking residents by 6 p.m. on Sunday.
