Snow is in the forecast this week which means street parking rules change in Brampton

With snow in the forecast this week, Brampton residents should prepare to move their vehicles out of the way so that clean-up crews can do their jobs.

According to Environment Canada, there is a chance of snow on Wednesday, Jan. 1 followed by flurries on Jan. 2, 3 and 4.

When this happens, new rules go into effect for Brampton residents regarding parking.

When it starts to snow, on-street parking is prohibited

Clear all snow and ice from sidewalks

• After a snowfall, shovel your sidewalk by 11 a.m. the following morning

Track the snow-clearing process

Snow clearing service is prioritized based on roadway classification

• All roads will be cleared within 24 hours. During heavier snowstorms, roads will be cleared within 48 hours.
