Snow removal crews need the streets clear tonight. The City of Saint John has declared a temporary overnight parking ban for the South/Central Peninsula. This ban takes effect at 11:00 p.m. tonight, Thursday, February 12, 2026, and remains in place until 7:00 a.m. tomorrow, Friday, February 13, 2026.

During this time, you cannot park on the street anywhere within the South/Central Peninsula area. The City enforces this strictly to ensure plows can clear the roads effectively.

Where You Can Park

To help residents comply with the ban, the City has authorized the use of three off-street parking lots starting at 6:00 p.m. this evening. You can park your vehicle in the following locations free of charge:

• Peters Street
• Sydney Street (Service New Brunswick)
• Vulcan Street

You must remove your vehicle from these lots by 7:00 a.m. Friday morning. If you leave your car in these lots past the deadline, you risk getting towed at your own expense.

Peel Plaza Parking Garage

If you prefer a covered spot, the Peel Plaza Parking Garage offers a special overnight rate of $5.00. This flat rate applies for stays between 6:00 p.m. tonight and 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Regular hourly rates apply outside of these specific hours.

Consequences for Non-Compliance

City officials advise that any vehicle remaining on-street after 11:00 p.m. violates the ban. Enforcement officers will ticket and/or tow vehicles impeding snow removal operations. Owners bear all risks and expenses associated with towing.
