Meaford's overnight winter parking ban starts Sunday, Nov. 15

Meaford's winter overnight parking restrictions take effect Sunday, Nov. 15, and run until April 1, the Municipality of Meaford says.

During that time, no parking is allowed on municipal streets or in municipal parking lots between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., so crews can clear roads and lots, the municipality said in a release Friday.

The Market Square lot at 12 Nelson Street East allows overnight parking in designated rows. Drivers should park in the odd or even row that matches the next day's date, the municipality said.

Meaford crews maintain about 413 kilometres of municipal roads over 12 winter routes: 10 for roads, one for sidewalks and one for parking lots.

The municipality asked residents not to push or blow snow onto roads or sidewalks, to keep fire hydrants clear, to keep children off snowbanks near roads, and to keep bins and mailboxes visible for plow operators. It also suggested piling driveway snow on the right side, as you face the road, to cut down on what the plow pushes back.

Route priorities and maps are on the municipality's winter roads page, and parking details are at meaford.ca/parking.
