WINTER STORM PARKING REMINDER

Details
Published: Sunday, 22 February 2026 13:53
 
When the snow comes, we all play a role in keeping our streets safe and passable. To ensure snow ploughing can be done safely and efficiently, the Town needs vehicles off the streets as soon as possible during a storm - ideally before it begins.
 
With the potential for a significant snowfall on the horizon, please remember to move your vehicle off the road. Vehicles left parked on streets that obstruct snow removal may be removed without further notice. Any towed vehicles will be removed and stored by Corkum’s Towing, with towing fees starting at $250 per vehicle.
 
The Town recognizes that off-street parking can be challenging, especially during winter storms. To help, residents are permitted to use designated Town-owned off-street parking lots at no cost during storms and snow removal this season (see accompanying map).
 
There is no permit required to use these off-street parking lots during snow events.
 
Residents are asked to remove their vehicles from these lots within 8 hours after a storm. This allows our crews to clear those lots for the next storm. Any vehicles left in these lots passed the 8-hour period risk being removed at the owner’s cost.
 
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep Lunenburg’s streets safe and accessible throughout the winter.
