Oshawa is completing overnight boulevard snow removal throughout the downtown core beginning each night at 11 pm.
The work began Thursday and will continue through to Sunday, January 26. Times and dates may be adjusted due to changing weather conditions, said a city announcement.
During snow removal activities, trucks are brought in to collect and remove the snow from the boulevards. In order to provide access to the boulevards, on street parking in the downtown core will not be allowed after 10 pm. Temporary signs will be placed to advise motorists that snow removal operations will be occurring and that parking is unavailable, it added.
On-going parking reminders
Parking that interferes with snow clearing operations at any time of day is prohibited. Any vehicle parked in a manner that hinders efficient snow clearing operations may be ticketed or towed, said the city.
