Residential streets are classified as Priority 4 roads under the Winter Maintenance Policy (143.2 KB) and are cleared when the snow depth reaches 7 cm of compacted snow.
Watch for orange Residential Street Snow Removal signs posted in your neighbourhood.
Signs will include dates parking is not permitted and will be posted at least 24 hours before snow clearing is scheduled to take place.
It may take up to 12 days to remove the snow from all neighbourhoods in Sherwood Park.
If there is snowfall during the process, residential clearing may be delayed as crews must attend to roads with higher traffic volumes.
Please remove vehicles from the road
To allow for safe and efficient snow removal, drivers have a responsibility to remove their vehicles from affected roadways when parking restrictions are in place.
Please remove all vehicles from residential streets during the timeframe posted on the orange signs in your neighbourhood. Officers are authorized to issue a $250 ticket and tow on any vehicle in violation of parking restrictions.
If you received a ticket or have questions about the towing process, please contact Enforcement Services directly at 780-467-7741.
Not sure where to park?
During residential street snow clearing, parking is permitted on collector roads (313.1 KB) marked with "snow route when declared" signs.
Parking is permitted on residential streets again after the snow has been removed.
Residential snow depth measurement
