Snow Routes Declared Active
The City of Lethbridge has declared that snow routes will be active by tomorrow at 9 am, November 25, 2024. The community is advised that parking restrictions will be in effect along these routes.
Snow Routes
Snow routes can become active any time during the season whenever snow creates unsafe driving conditions, as determined by City Transportation Operations.
- Snow routes are identified with a blue snowflake tab above snow route parking signs. The community is reminded to look for the signs and make sure they are aware of the snow route status before using the adjacent on-street parking.
Vehicle Parking
To facilitate safe and swift operations, residents along snow routes are advised to move all vehicles from the snow route parking lanes. Alternative parking includes driveways, rear parking pads and along streets that are not part of a snow route.
- Vehicles left in parking lanes while snow routes are active will be subject to parking tickets.
- Large equipment can damage vehicles while operating.
- Equipment will plow windrows around vehicles left in parking lanes.
- Vehicles can be parked on snow routes again when the City deactivates snow routes.
Windrow Assistance Service
The City is piloting a new service open to residents who live on a snow route and experience mobility and accessibility challenges related to navigating windrows. The City has a contractor engaged that will clear a passage through the windrow for home-to-parking access for residents that have subscribed to the program.
- If there is no driveway on the property, the resident requires a windrow passage at-the-curb. When on-street parking resumes on snow routes, the community is asked to avoid parking in front of these passages. These spots will be marked with paint for visibility and some subscribers will display a snowman sticker in the window of their home.
