- Edmonton resumes Phase 2 residential parking ban
- The City of Edmonton announced it will resume the Phase 2 residential parking ban at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 17, 2026.
- The ban had been temporarily lifted Friday night but was reversed late Friday to speed neighbourhood road clearing.
- Once resumed, residential roadway clearing will continue 24 hours a day until crews complete the current operations.
- Snow clearing operations ramped up
- The pause was originally meant to let crews focus on school zones, windrow pick-up and alley maintenance.
- After reversing that pause, the city is reallocating resources to expedite clearing of neighbourhood roads.
- Residents should expect increased overnight activity and temporary access/parking disruptions.
- What the parking ban means for drivers
- Phase 2 parking ban requires cars to be moved off impacted residential streets by the 7:00 p.m. start time.
- Vehicles left on streets risk ticketing and/or tow; drivers should check city notices and local signage for exact boundaries.
- The ban aims to clear narrow residential streets faster and improve winter road safety.
- School zones and priority work
- City statement highlighted continued focus on school zones — a priority for safety — plus windrow pick-up and alley maintenance.
- Parents should watch for updates on school-zone access and temporary changes to pick-up/drop-off routines.
