City crews require clear streets for snow removal operations tonight. The City of Saint John has declared a temporary overnight parking ban for the South/Central Peninsula. This ban takes effect at 11 p.m. this evening, Wednesday, January 28, and remains in place until 7 a.m. tomorrow morning, Thursday, January 29.

This declaration prohibits all on-street parking anywhere within the South/Central Peninsula area during these hours. To ensure plows can operate effectively and safely, you must remove your vehicle from the street.

Enforcement and Towing

City officials strictly enforce these bans. If you leave your vehicle on the street after 11 p.m., you risk receiving a ticket or having your vehicle towed at your own expense. These measures adhere to sections 5(6) and 5(7) of the City’s Traffic By-law.

Where to Park

To assist residents, the City has cleared three parking lots for use. You can park in these locations starting at 6 p.m. tonight:

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

Note that you must remove your vehicle from these lots by 7 a.m. on Thursday morning. Vehicles remaining past this deadline risk towing.

If you prefer a covered option, the Peel Plaza Parking Garage offers a special overnight rate of $5.00. This flat rate applies only between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. Regular hourly rates apply outside of these specific hours.
