Chance of snow? Street parking is a NO in the Town of Caledon
November 22, 2024 (CALEDON, ON) – With winter weather starting to arrive, the Town of Caledon is reminding residents that winter parking restrictions are in effect from November 1 until April 30. During this time, there is no street parking permitted in Caledon when winter operations, such as salting or plowing, are taking place.
These restrictions assist the Town in maintaining over 1,600 km of local roads, while adhering to the Minimum Maintenance Standards as per the Municipal Act.
“Winter operations includes snow plowing, sanding as well as salting before and after a winter storm,” said Brian Baird, Director of Operations. “To complete these operations effectively and in a timely manner, vehicles must be removed from the road, and any vehicles parking over a sidewalk must be removed as well. Residents are encouraged to help our team do their jobs to ensure clear roadways and sidewalks throughout the winter months. Help us help you.”
Parking on the street or blocking a sidewalk during winter operations can result in a $90 ticket, and having the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.
“As we enter the winter season, we’re asking residents to help us keep roads safe and clear by observing the winter parking restrictions,” said Jagdeep (Jack) Hunjan, Director of Municipal Law Enforcement. “Bylaw Officers will be monitoring winter parking closely over the coming months to help ensure efficient snow removal and safe conditions for everyone.”
