Calendar Parking Sign - CJ Goater

Thunder Bay’s calendar parking restrictions will not be enforced for the remainder of winter.

The city’s Parking Authority and the Roads Division Manager made the decision based on the upcoming weather forecast and current road conditions.

“Calendar Parking restrictions are enforced to allow for more efficient snow removal and to ensure clear passage for traffic and essential services, especially when accumulated snow reduces the available road width”, explained Parking Authority Supervisor Jonathan Paske. “However, with the roads currently clear and the weather forecast looking favorable, we are waiving the restrictions to make parking easier and more accessible for residents.”

City staff plan to monitor weather forecasts and road conditions closely, to make sure necessary parking regulations are in place to ensure the safety of residents and the smooth operation of city services.

The Parking Authority can waive the enforcement of calendar parking at any time after March 1 of any given year, if forecasted weather and road conditions permit doing so.
