Parking ban to take effect along Regina snow routes

Instead of coal, Santa will be delivering parking tickets to drivers getting in the way of city crews.

Regina has declared certain snow routes will be in effect starting 6 a.m. Tuesday until 6 a.m. Wednesday.

This means there’s no parking along the identified roads during that time.

City crews will be able to plow roads from curb-to-curb, improving traffic flow along the busy roadways. It also ensures roads are passable for emergency response vehicles.

The snow routes are:

• Victoria Avenue between Broad Street and Winnipeg Street
• Winnipeg Street between Victoria Avenue and College Avenue
• College Avenue between Winnipeg Street and Arcola Avenue

Blue signs with a white snowflake help identify where there is no parking during the 24-hour ban.

Vehicles that remain parked on snow routes during this time will be ticketed.
