Snow Event Declared starting Sunday, December 28 at 7 a.m.

The City of Cambridge is declaring a Snow Event - on‑street parking ban beginning Sunday, December 28 at 7 a.m.

This means:

• An on-street parking ban is in effect. Vehicles should not be parked on any city street at any time for the duration of the Snow Event. This allows snowplows to clear more efficiently and safely. Vehicles left on the road may be ticketed and/or towed.
• Sidewalks must be cleared within 36 hours following the end of snowfall. Snow should not be shoveled onto the road.
• Please wait 36 hours after the Snow Event is over to report a problem area.

City snowplows will be clearing roads based on provincial guidelines and a priority schedule, with priority roads cleared first and residential roads cleared last. Residential roads are typically not salted, so snowpack will remain on the surface. The Snow Event is in effect for 24 hours from the start time. Freezing rain in the forecast Sunday means crews will need to repeat treatment of roads, plowing what they can as the freezing rain and subsequent rainfall are expected to create icy road conditions. This makes it especially important that streets remain clear of parked vehicles.
