Winter parking rules go into effect Dec. 1
No parking on City streets overnight
KINGSTON, ONT. / Nov. 21, 2011 - Starting Dec.1, parking is prohibited
on all City streets from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. The overnight winter parking
bylaw ensures that cars are kept off the streets so that snow plows can
effectively respond to winter weather events.
"Parked cars are an obstacle to safe and efficient weather response
efforts. Our work is most effective when we are able to clear snow or
put down salt and sand on Kingston roads from curb to curb," says Kim
Leonard, Manager, Licensing and Enforcement.
Car owners who contravene the bylaw, risk receiving a fine of up to $30,
or possibly having their vehicle towed.
The parking prohibition remains in place until the end of March, 2012.
