All subzones relaxed from Dec. 23 - Jan. 3 for the holidays
Subzones 1 and 2 will be active from Dec. 16 - 20 with on-street parking restrictions in effect. Crews will be conducting snow removal operations, which take longer than plowing as snow is loaded into trucks and brought to a disposal site.
Subzones 3 and 4 are relaxed. When subzones are relaxed, on-street parking restrictions are not in effect and vehicles may park on the street.
All subzones relaxed Dec. 23 – Jan. 3
All subzones will be relaxed over the holidays from Dec. 23 - Jan. 3. This means there will be no on-street WMZ parking restrictions during this time.
While subzones are relaxed over the holidays, winter maintenance crews will continue clearing snow on primary, secondary and tertiary streets. Crews will also be focusing on snow removal from school zones and other routes while there is less traffic in these locations.
Remove collection bins from the curb
Prevent winter maintenance delays and keep streets clear for snowplows and equipment to plow and remove snow. Curbside collection bins must be removed from the street the same day they are picked up.
Driveways and sidewalks
The removal of snow from sidewalks and driveways is the responsibility of residents in the adjacent home and needs to be completed within 48 hours after a snowfall. Help keep your neighbours and our crews moving this season and shovel snow onto yards and greenspaces dividing driveways. Snow should never be shoveled back onto the street.
Winter Maintenance Zone reminders
- Every residential street in Fort McMurray has been assigned a subzone and one designated weekday for maintenance. You can find this information on posted street signage or by using the Find Your Zone tool.
- For the weeks when your subzone is active, on-street parking restrictions are in effect from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. only on your one designated day for maintenance.
- For everyone’s safety, please do not approach equipment on the roadway and give space to crews where maintenance is happening.
