The regulations allow for safe, effective winter road maintenance according to the City.
Parking is prohibited on all City streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. every night. Violation is a fine of $25.
When snow-clearing operations occur, no parking or stopping of a vehicle is permitted on any City street. Snow clearing typically takes place between midnight and 8 a.m.
During snowstorms, a public service announcement will be made to advise that vehicles must be removed from city streets throughout. Free overnight parking is available in municipal parking garages and surface lots during snowstorms. Drivers can use the parking garage entrance ticket for a free ride home on Peterborough Transit.
The fine for a violation is $80 and the vehicle will be towed to one of two locations:
Vehicles parked north of Parkhill Road will be towed to Milroy Park, 242 Milroy Dr.
Vehicles south of Parkhill Road will be towed to Morrow Park, 171 Lansdowne St. W.
