With the first major snowfall of the year rapidly approaching, Thunder Bay will be implementing its winter parking restrictions at 9 a.m. on Wednesday to aid its snowplows.
Where displayed, calendar parking restrictions will prevent the use of parking spaces from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Calendar parking signs are specific to odd or even calendar days, so the spaces remain free to use on off-days. This allows snowplows to clear at least half of the road on any given day.
Where marked, priority routes prevent any parking on either side of the street from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. every day.
Winter parking restrictions will remain in place until March 31.
Environment Canada is currently projecting 10-20cm of snow in Thunder Bay from Tuesday night to Wednesday night.
The city of Thunder Bay is asking drivers to keep their distance from snowplows so they can maneuver more easily.
