City of Brockville Significant Weather Event – Overnight Parking Prohibition

Brockville – An Overnight Parking Prohibition is in effect on all City of Brockville roadways overnight tonight.

The City of Brockville has declared a significant weather event due to heavy snowfall, as defined within the O. Reg. 239/02 Minimum Maintenance Standards.

Parking is prohibited on City streets each evening, 11:00 pm to 7:00 am. Infractions of this ban may lead to parking tickets and towing.

Environment and Climate Change Canada advises postponing any non-essential travel until conditions improve. During significant weather events, motorists, pedestrians, and residents should exercise extra caution since the Municipality may not be able to meet its minimum maintenance standards for roads and sidewalks due to the heavy snowfall.

The declaration will not change how the municipality performs its winter maintenance operations, but it may take longer than usual for staff to restore roads and sidewalks to a state of repair. Snow removal priority will be given to arterial and collector roads. Public safety remains the municipality’s top priority.
