NEWS RELEASE
CITY OF BARRIE
*************************
Barrie received about 10-15 cm of snow last night. Plows started on priority roads at 5:30 p.m. and on secondary roads at midnight. Snow plowing continues today, and the City of Barrie is extending the winter maintenance event tonight. This means that on-street parking is prohibited overnight: November 17, 3 to 6 a.m. within the Downtown Business Improvement Area, and on other city streets 12:01 to 7 a.m.
As per the Overnight Parking By-law, on-street parking is not permitted 3 to 6 a.m. within the Downtown Business Improvement Area, and on other city streets 12:01 to 7 a.m., Dec. 1 through March 31.
This ensures the city can completely clear streets of snow and that large emergency vehicles can get down the street. Outside of the Dec. 1 through March 31 time period, winter maintenance events can be declared when streets require snow plowing, sanding, salting, direct liquid application, snow removal or other winter maintenance operations.
