Street sweeping underway with parking restrictions starting April 21

Watch-out for temporary no parking signs on affected streets

With the snow and ice melting away, crews are getting a head start cleaning and sweeping streets. Beginning April 21, temporary parking restrictions will be in effect where work is happening to help ensure the entire street can be cleaned.    

Watch-out for no parking signs!

Temporary no parking signs will be placed 48 hours in advance of where street cleaning is occurring. After 48 hours, parking restrictions will be in effect, including ticketing and towing, until the signs are removed.  

Please watch the electronic road signs for street sweeping updates. These signs are at the entrance of each neighbourhood.

Street sweeping schedule

On April 21, on-street parking restrictions for street sweeping will begin on Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Routes in the areas below, in the following order:

• Dickinsfield
• Downtown
• Waterways
• Abasand/Grayling Terrace
• Prairie Creek
• Beacon Hill
• Thickwood
• Wood Buffalo
• Timberlea

Street sweeping on residential streets is expected to begin mid-May following the same order as above. Timelines are subject to change due to weather, on-street parking compliance and other unforeseen circumstances.  

Street sweeping in rural communities is expected to begin by late May or early June, 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.
