City crews are tackling major snow removal operations this weekend, requiring temporary parking bans on specific streets in Uptown and the West Side. If you rely on on-street parking in these areas, you must move your vehicle this Sunday, March 1.

The City of Saint John issued an advisory stating that clear streets are necessary for crews to complete snow clearing and removal effectively. Failure to comply with these restrictions results in enforcement measures.

Affected Streets

Parking is prohibited on the following streets to allow machinery to operate safely:

• Charlotte Street: From King Square to Broad Street.
• Horsfield Street: Entire length.
• St. Andrews Street: Entire length.
• Main Street West: From Church Avenue to Simms Corner.

Enforcement and Timing

City officials place temporary “No Parking” signs at least 8 hours before operations begin. You need to watch for these signs if you park in the affected zones. Vehicles remaining on the street during the ban face fines and the risk of towing. Keeping these areas clear ensures crews make the roads safe for everyone.

If you have questions regarding municipal services or need further clarification, contact the City of Saint John Customer Service Centre at (506) 658-4455 or email service@saintjohn.ca.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the parking ban in effect?
The parking interruption takes place on Sunday, March 1. Exact start times depend on when signage is posted, but crews post signs at least 8 hours in advance.

What happens if I don’t move my car?
Enforcement officers will ticket vehicles left in the snow removal zones. To ensure the plow crews can work, the city may also tow your vehicle.

Why are these specific streets chosen?
Snow removal (loading and hauling snow away) differs from standard plowing. These operations often target narrower streets or major arteries where snow banks have reduced lane width or visibility, requiring total street clearance to fix.
