Winter Parking Details
- From December 1- April 1, parking is prohibited on all City streets from 2:00 a.m. — 6:00 a.m. This allows for better snow clearing of city streets, at a lower cost, because equipment will not have to return to clear areas where vehicles were parked. The fine for a violation is $15.
- During a snowstorm, when snow-clearing operations are underway, no stopping of a vehicle is permitted on any city street. Snow-clearing operations typically take place between midnight and 8:00 a.m. The fine for a violation is $50 and your vehicle will be towed to Morrow Park. Towed vehicles must be claimed the following day. After 24 hours all unclaimed vehicles will be towed to an impound yard at the owners' expense.
- Vehicles need to be off all streets, including streets downtown. Free overnight parking is permitted at all Municipal parking lots, King Street Parkade and Simcoe Parking Garage. Individuals parking their vehicles overnight at either parking garage can obtain a gate-arm ticket upon entry which can then be used for a free transit trip home.
