City crews are scheduled for major snow removal operations this Thursday, February 5. To ensure equipment can operate safely and efficiently, the City of Saint John has issued a temporary parking ban for specific areas.

Affected Streets and Times

You must keep your vehicle off the street between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 5, if you park in the following locations:

• Forbes Drive
• Main Street (specifically from Lansdowne Avenue to Bridge Street)

Crews post temporary “No Parking” signs at least 8 hours before work begins. This gives residents and commuters time to make alternative arrangements.

Enforcement and Towing

Officials enforce these bans strictly to prevent delays in snow clearing. If you leave your vehicle in the restricted zones during the designated hours, you face fines and the City will tow your vehicle. Clearing the streets allows crews to widen the roadways and improve safety for everyone during the winter months.
