Parking ban on snow routes lifted

Jan 4, 2021 | 10:19 AM

The parking bans put into effect for snow route areas in Kelowna on Dec. 30 have been lifted.

Despite that, residents are still encouraged to move their vehicles off the road when it snows as it helps plows clear from curb to curb safely and quickly.

Residents can find out if the parking bans are in effect by:

· Having a notice sent directly to your email inbox by signing up for snow route news through the City’s e-subscribe channel.

· Visiting the City’s website at kelowna.ca/snowroutes.

The City of Kelowna clears and de-ices municipal streets including snow routes by their priority classification. Priority one includes high-traffic roads such as Gordon Drive. Priority two includes collector roads such as Richter Street, bus routes, school zones, town centres and emergency vehicle stations. Priority three includes local roads in neighbourhoods and priority four includes remaining lanes. Highway 97 (Harvey Avenue) and Highway 33 are maintained by the Provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

The city is extending a big thank you to all residents for their cooperation during the significant snow fall event.
