City crews are scheduled to tackle snow clearing operations this Wednesday, February 4. To ensure plows can navigate effectively and remove snow safely, the City of Saint John has issued a temporary parking prohibition for specific streets.

If you usually park on the street in the affected areas, you need to find an alternative spot between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.

Affected Streets

Crews require these streets to be completely clear of vehicles to complete the necessary work. The no-parking rule applies to:

• Davenport Avenue
• Boyd Street
• Tilley Avenue
• McKenna Crescent
• Gilbert Street

Alternative Parking Options

Finding a spot during a ban is often a challenge. However, officials have designated a specific area where parking is permitted during this operation. You can park along the fence of the baseball fields on Tilley Avenue.

Important Note: While the fence side is open, parking is strictly prohibited along the sidewalk side of Tilley Avenue. Keep the sidewalk side clear.

Enforcement and Signage

City staff place temporary “No Parking” signs in the area at least 8 hours before the operation begins. It is your responsibility to check for these signs before leaving your car.

Enforcement officers will monitor the area. If you leave your vehicle on these streets during the prohibited hours, you face fines. More importantly, crews may tow your vehicle to allow the snow removal equipment to pass. Cooperation is essential to keep the streets safe and passable for everyone.
