Overnight parking ban Wednesday for Saint John
Drivers in Saint John’s South and Central Peninsula will need to move their vehicles on Wednesday night.
The City of Saint John says a temporary overnight parking ban begins at 11 p.m. Wednesday and runs until 7 a.m. Thursday.
In a release, the City said no vehicles are permitted to remain on-street during the ban.
It warned that cars left on the street “will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s risk and expense.”
The City noted that overnight parking bans are declared under sections 5(6) and 5(7) of the municipal Traffic By-law to allow for snow removal operations.
Three municipal parking lots will open at 6 p.m. on Wednesday. The locations are Peters Street, Sydney Street near Service New Brunswick, and Vulcan Street.
The City said vehicles must be removed from those lots by 7 a.m. on weekdays and by noon on weekends and holidays. Cars left beyond those times may be towed.
The Peel Plaza Parking Garage will also offer a $5 overnight parking rate during the ban.
The discounted rate applies between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. the following morning, with regular rates charged outside those hours, according to the city.
