Winnipeg is no longer under an extended winter route parking ban.

The extended ban, which went into effect Dec. 14 as a Colorado low battered the city with snow, was lifted Monday morning.

The extended bans mean city crews start cleaning two hours earlier than usual and vehicles parked overnight on snow routes or winter routes could be ticketed.

In addition to a $100 ticket, vehicles violating the extended ban may also be towed.

A residential parking ban is also in effect until 7 p.m. Tuesday. Winnipeggers can find their snow zone on the Winnipeg.ca website.

Vehicles parked in violation of the Residential Parking Ban may receive a $200 ticket ($150 if paid early), and may be towed to a nearby street that is not scheduled to be plowed, or that has already been cleared, the city advises.
