Winter Parking Advisory
Help us keep Town streets free of ice and snow by ensuring your vehicle is parked off-street during winter storm and snow removal operations. The Public Works Department can do the job more efficiently if your vehicles are not left on the street during this time. Please arrange off-street parking locations during snow clearing and salting operations. See the Parking During a Winter Storm Event and Snow Removal Map (below) for safe places to park during this time.
The Town of Lunenburg enforces the pdf Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act (2.92 MB) winter parking ban which:
- Prohibits parking or leaving a motor vehicle, whether attended or unattended, on any street that might interfere with or obstruct snow removal, or winter maintenance;
- Authorizes the Traffic Authority to have a motor vehicle moved or towed to some other place if it interferes with or obstructing snow removal or winter maintenance; and
- Provides that the cost of moving or towing motor vehicle can be recovered from the owner.
Please also remove potential obstacles to the sidewalk plow such as signs, planters, furniture etc.
The cooperation of all drivers, businesses and residents is appreciated! For more information, please contact the Public Works Department at 902-634-8992
