Here is where you can park during a daytime parking ban in Ottawa
The City of Ottawa has issued its first winter parking ban of the year, as a major snow storm approaches the region. Environment Canada[1] has declared a winter storm warning for Ottawa, with 10 to 20 cm of snow forecasted to fall overnight and into Wednesday morning. The city says a daytime parking ban[2] will be in effect beginning Wednesday (Jan.
10) between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. The hours could be extended if additional time is needed to complete winter road operations. During a winter weather parking ban, parking is prohibited on city streets so crews can plow easily and effectively.
Vehicles parked on the street during a ban may be ticketed and towed. On-street monthly parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction when they are parked in residential parking permit zones. Residents will have access to select OC Transpo park and rides as well as certain recreation centres to temporarily park.
The park and rides available are:
- Riverview (at Earl Armstrong)
- Innovation (at Innovation Drive)
- Chapel Hill
- Nepean Woods (at Strandherd Drive)
- Greenboro
- Leitrim
- Eagleson (West lot)
Parking is still allowed on commercial main streets, including Bank Street, Rideau Street, Elgin Street and Somerset Street, though drivers must still observe all signage and payment requirements. Vehicles may remain parked at the following sites for the duration of the ban, and must be removed after the city announces that the ban has been lifted:
