Temporary Parking Restrictions

Residential snow clearing to start Monday in County of Grande Prairie

Nov 19, 2020 | 4:28 PM

Snow removal in residential areas of the County of Grande Prairie will start on Monday, November 23.

Crews will start in the Hamlet of Clairmont between 100 and 113 Avenue at 7 a.m. Monday. Once they are completed there, crews will move onto the subdivisions of Westlake Estates and Whispering Ridge in Clairmont, followed by Wedgewood, Maple Ridge and Taylor Estates.

The County says temporary parking restrictions will be put into place in Clairmont over the weekend. These are typically put into effect 24 hours in advance of snow clearing work. “No Parking” signs will be posted at entrances to the area where the restrictions are in place, when possible, according to the County.

If a “No Parking” sign is visible, parking on those roadways is not permitted between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Vehicles left on the street when a parking restriction is in effect may be ticketed and/or towed.

The County has also installed new digital “No Parking” signs to make it more clear to drivers when and where temporary parking restrictions are in effect. The County says if there is success with such signs, they will be installed across residential areas of the County next year.

The following areas have a digital sign in place:

• Clairmont at 100 Ave and 100 St
• Clairmont at 107A Ave and 100 St
• Whispering Ridge in Clairmont at 154 Ave and 102 St
• Whispering Ridge in Clairmont at 149 Ave and 102 St
• Westlake Village in Clairmont at 156 Ave and 102 St
• Entrance to Wedgewood

The County also reminds residents that it is illegal to pile snow onto roadways, and those found in contravention of the order could face a $100 fine. The County says this slows the snow clearing process and creates a traffic safety hazard.
