Winter Parking Ban Up for Discussion

If the Commissioner of Municipal Operations gets his way, anyone who parks their vehicle on a city street overnight during the winter will be ticketed or towed. Paul Groody is recommending common council accept a new winter management plan for street and sidewalk snow clearing. In the report, there are plans for Winter Parking Restrictions.

If approved by council, Saint John residents will be banned from parking overnight on nearly all city streets from November 15th to April 15th. Only four areas will be exempt from the out-right overnight parking ban: Wright Street, Old North End, Lower West and South Central Peninsula. The issue will be up fro discussion during tonight's common council meeting.
