Mississauga Introduces Citywide Winter Parking Restrictions

In an effort to make snow clearing safer and more efficient, the City of Mississauga has introduced a penalty of $150 for those who park their vehicles on the road when the City is plowing and declares a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction.

Vehicles parked on the road can prevent City crews from being able to clear roads and residential driveway windrows, making it difficult for emergency vehicles, public transit and residents to travel.

The City will declare a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction when they need to plow roadways. When it’s declared, on-street parking is not allowed, except in areas identified by signage (e.g. 15-hour maximum). On-street parking on statutory holidays and religious observances is also prohibited. Temporary parking permits and residential paid parking permits will not be issued and current ones will be suspended.

To inform the community, the City will announce that a Citywide Winter Parking Restriction is in effect on its website and on its social media channels. Residents can also sign up to receive an email alert or call 311.
