If you park on several key streets in Saint John, you will need to find a different spot this Thursday. The City of Saint John has announced a temporary on-street parking ban to allow crews to complete essential snow clearing and removal operations.
The advisory, published on the city’s official website, is a crucial measure to ensure roads remain safe and accessible during the winter season. Your cooperation helps the snow removal teams work efficiently and effectively.

The parking ban will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 8, 2026. Make sure your vehicle is moved from the following streets before the ban begins:

What Happens if You Don’t Move Your Car?
