SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT
The city of Ottawa has declared a significant weather event.
A daytime winter weather parking ban will be in effect on Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
"During a winter weather parking ban, parking is prohibited on city streets so crews can plow easily and effectively," the city said.
"Vehicles parked on the street during a ban may be ticketed and towed. Though on-street monthly parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction when they are parked in residential parking permit zones, we encourage those who can to find off-street parking options to avoid getting snowed-in."
During a winter weather parking ban, residents can park at select OC Transpo park and rides and certain recreation centres.
