Declaration of Significant Weather Event on February 12

UPDATE TO ARTICLE: On-Street 72-Hour Parking Ban Begins 6:30 pm on February 12

The Town of Kingsville has declared a Significant Weather Event concerning existing or potential hazardous weather conditions until further notice. This means:

  • Drivers and pedestrians should use an appropriate level of caution when traveling during this event and avoid unnecessary travel if possible.
  • Crews continue to work diligently to ensure public safety, but maintaining roadways and sidewalks may take longer than normal.
  • The Town will provide updates as changes occur and when the Significant Weather Event has ended.

Street Parking ban

We are also declaring an on-street parking ban for the purpose of snow removal operations. On-street parking is now prohibited until further notice. Parking on residential streets during a ban carries a $35.00 fine (By-Law 63-2022). You can find alternate parking at one of our free municipal parking lots.

Please also remove portable items (such as basketball nets and signs) from roadways and sidewalks to prevent damage. Thank you for helping keep our roads clear and safe for travel.

    Can you clarify – when a weather announcement is made is it for 72 hours or ‘until further notice’?

    • Hi Cathie

      Depends on the type of weather announcement.

      The first article yesterday referred to a 72 hour parking ban. The second one indicated that conditions had worsened and the ban would last till further notice.

      But good news! The Kingsville Times has just published a new article, based on a media release from the Town, announcing that the Significant Weather Event has ended, and so the parking ban has ended as well.
