A snow route parking ban that was issued by the city on Monday ended Wednesday afternoon and resulted in more than 1,800 tickets being issued to motorists who failed to move their vehicles.
The ban was called to give road crews room to clear priority 2 routes and lasts for 72 hours after it is implemented or until it is lifted by the city. The City of Calgary lifted the ban as of 5:00 p.m. Wednesday.
During the ban, parking was restricted on those routes designated by a blue sign with a white snowflake. Vehicles that were not moved from the snow routes during the ban could receive a $120 parking ticket and tow. City officials say 1882 tickets were issued between Monday at noon and 8:00 a.m. Wednesday.
