The City of Edmonton will lift the Phase 1 parking ban on Friday morning for major roadways.
The latest parking ban began Sunday night due to heavy snowfall throughout the week.
City and contractor crews cleared snow and ice from arterial roads, collector roads, bus routes and roads within business improvement areas and will continue to maintain roads as needed.

“This was the third phase 1 parking ban of the season and crews completed all priority one roadways within 24 hours as well as completing all phase 1 roadways one day ahead of schedule,” said Valerie Dacyk, general supervisor of infrastructure field operations with the City of Edmonton.
“All active pathways were also cleared with the service level … We thank all the crews working 24/7, especially given the extreme cold this week.”
Residents are encouraged to report winter road conditions or concerns by calling 311 to coordinate necessary services.
