Dear Ward 3 Residents,
Happy Holidays!
City of Richmond Hill has declared a “Winter Event”
**You cannot park on the street when the City of Richmond Hill has declared a winter event which is expected to require snow clearing. If your vehicle is parked on the road, you may receive a ticket and have to pay a fine. If your vehicle is in the way of our plows, salters or emergency vehicles, it could be towed.
Winter maintenance information:
Residents can help staff get this job done by doing the following:
- Keep roads and sidewalks clear of parked cars when it’s snowing and before snow is expected so plows and emergency vehicles can get through or you could be ticketed and/or towed. This applies even if you have a temporary parking permit
- Do not place anything within one metre of a road, curb or sidewalk that can become hidden and cause issues for plow operators (e.g. basketball nets, landscaping features, etc.)
- Do not park near the bottom of your driveway
- Do not shovel snow back onto the road or sidewalk
- Driving near a snow plow? Keep a safe distance. Blowing snow and blind spots can obscure a driver’s vision, making it harder to see smaller vehicles
- Be a Hydrant Hero by clearing one metre of snow from around fire hydrants near your property to make them accessible in case of an emergency
During business hours, you can call Access Richmond Hill at 905-771-8800. For additional information, visit the links below.
