The Municipality of Chatham-Kent Public Works Department has ended the snow emergency parking ban as of 4 p.m. today (Wednesday, February 4.)
The ban had been declared Sunday evening so that snow ploughs could clear away the snow from the recent storm as safely and efficiently as possible.
Emergency vehicles, citizens and local businesses all depend on streets and roads to be clear for passage.
“We want to thank all motorists who moved their vehicles off municipal streets and roads during the emergency,” said Director of Public Works Miguel Pelletier.
“It makes a big difference in clearing the street.”
Citizens with concerns about specific snow sites can contact the Municipality of Chatham-Kent at telephone number is 519.360.1998 or e-mail ckinfo@chatham-kent.ca.
The parking ban was declared under Chatham-Kent (traffic and parking) by-law 245-2004, section 218.02 and 218.03.
