If you park on the street in Saint John, you need to move your vehicle this Thursday. The City has scheduled snow removal operations that require empty streets to ensure crews can work safely and effectively.

West Side Parking Restrictions

City crews will conduct snow clearing operations on Thursday, January 29. To facilitate this work, a parking ban runs from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the following streets:

• Duke Street West (from Watson Street to Market Place)
• Guilford Street (from Market Place to City Line)
• Lancaster Street (from Duke Street West to Guilford Street)

Enforcement and Towing

Officials will post temporary “No Parking” signs at least eight hours before work begins. If you leave your vehicle on these streets during the restricted hours, you face fines and the risk of towing. Crews need the entire roadway clear to complete the operation before the ban lifts.

Friday Traffic Delays Expected

The work continues into Friday, January 30, though the focus shifts to major thoroughfares. Crews will perform snow removal on the 1 Mile Overpass, Crown Street Overpass, and the Viaduct. While no specific parking ban is listed for these areas, the City advises motorists to expect delays while heavy equipment operates in these high-traffic zones.
