HRM to Pilot New Approach to Winter Parking Ban

Snow Information
November 2011

HRM to Pilot New Approach to Winter Parking Ban
 

The season of snow will soon be upon us and HRM would like to advise residents of some changes to the annual winter parking ban.

HRM’s Traffic Authority is implementing a one-year trial period for an amended winter parking ban. The changes are intended to offer some flexibility to those who are most affected by the ban, such as shift workers and business owners, without compromising HRM’s snow and ice clearing operations.

This year:
 

  • the overnight parking regulations, which can be implemented anytime between Dec. 15 and March 31, will only be enforced during declared snow and ice operations
     
  • when the parking ban is in effect, it will run from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. - ending one hour earlier than in previous years.

Weather conditions and clearing operations will determine how long an overnight ban will be in effect. HRM will issue public service announcements to alert the public when the ban is in effect and when it has been lifted and timely information will be posted on www.halifax.ca.

As the ban can come into effect at any time, it’s important for residents to take responsibility by keeping themselves informed and to plan ahead by securing off-street parking for the winter season.

line

Please remember...

Provincial legislation (Section 139 of the Motor Vehicle Act) requires people remove their vehicles from the streets, day or night, in the event of a snow or ice event. Vehicles obstructing snow removal or winter maintenance operations can be removed at the owner’s cost, regardless of time or date.

line

Service Standards for snow removal during snow events:
 

  • ROADS: 12 hours for main roads and bus routes, 24 hours for residential and rural streets
  • SIDEWALKS: 12 hours on main arterials, 18 hours for school and bus routes, 36 hours for residential and rural streets.


Service Standards:
Priority 1 Streets

Update on Residential Parking Permits

Dear Residents of Davison Street, Divas Lane, Falkland Street, James Street, Maynard Street, Wright Ave., West Street, and Woodill Street, When we informed you of the results of the resident vote on the Parking by Permit Only project we had targeted November for implementation. We have delayed this until February. This is primarily due to the time required to produce and install the required signage. We will provide you with information on the exact start date via e-mail and via a note in all of the mailboxes on your streets so that you have sufficient time to purchase the resident exceptions. If you have any questions or comments on this please feel free to reply to this e-mail or give me a call at 490-1665. David

David MacIsaac Strategic Transportation Planning Halifax Regional Municipality 490-1665

Results from Parking by Permit Only Vote
Residents of the following streets have voted in favour of the project: Davison Street; Divas Lane; Falkland Street;
James Street; Maynard Street; Wright Ave.; West Street; and, Woodhill Street.

Residents of the following streets have voted to not implement the project: Baker Street; Bauer Street; Creighton Street; Beech Street; John Street; and, Harris Street.

Municipal Staff will begin implementing the project on approved streets later this fall for a three month trial phase. After three months, staff will consult again with residents. We will inform you via e-mail and through direct communication with the exact implementation date so that you have sufficient time to purchase resident exemptions. We are currently planning to make
the changes in November.
