With winter weather now approaching, the Town of New Tecumseth is reminding residents that restrictions for street parking are now in effect.
As of Nov. 15, parking on all streets is prohibited between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., as per the Town’s parking and traffic bylaw. This will be in effect until April 15.
Streets need to be clear of vehicles so Town crews can conduct snow removal services during the fall and winter months.
Vehicles parked on the streets during restricted hours will be ticketed and possibly towed.
If your vehicle is towed, you are responsible for the towing costs.
The Town is not liable for any damage done by street maintenance equipment to vehicles parked on Town streets.
If you are parked on Town streets during the prohibited time, you will receive a $35 fine that must be voluntarily paid within 10 days.
After 10 days, you will be responsible for a set fine of $52.50.
It is necessary to have proper access to streets for snow plows and snow removal equipment to allow proper clearing of Town streets after a snowfall.
Residents should comply with the restricted parking by-law to ensure streets can be cleared.
