Follow temporary parking restrictions to support efficient street cleaning
Starting April 28, temporary parking restrictions will be in place in residential areas scheduled for street sweeping, as crews continue the street sweeping program.
Street sweeping will continue daily until all roads are completed. This will help reduce debris, improve safety, and keep the neighbourhood streets clean.
Watch-out for no parking signs
Temporary no-parking signs will be posted 24 hours in advance in areas scheduled for street sweeping. After 24 hours, parking restrictions will be in effect until the signs are removed. Residents are reminded to move vehicles off the road to avoid getting ticketed or towed and to ensure the entire street can be cleaned safely and efficiently.
Please watch the electronic road signs for street sweeping updates. These signs are at the entrance of each neighbourhood.
Street sweeping schedule
On-street parking restrictions for street sweeping will begin on primary, secondary, and tertiary routes, which are the busier streets in Fort McMurray. Street sweeping will be done by neighbourhood, in the following order:
- Downtown
- Waterways
- Abasand/Grayling Terrace
- Beacon Hill
- Prairie Creek
- Thickwood
- Wood Buffalo
- Dickinsfield
- Timberlea
Street sweeping on residential streets will follow the same order as above. Residential street sweeping is expected to be completed by mid-late June. Timelines are subject to change due to weather, on-street parking compliance and other unforeseen circumstances.
Rural street sweeping
Street sweeping in rural communities is expected to begin by mid-May, depending on weather and other circumstances. There are no parking restrictions in place, so rural residents will not need to adjust parking practices for street sweeping.
For everyone’s safety, please follow all posted signage, do not approach operators and keep a safe distance from equipment as dust may reduce visibility.
