Snow Removal and Seasonal Parking Ban

Dealing with snow is a big part of living in Drayton Valley. The Public Works Department is responsible for snow removal on Town roads and is committed to helping make Drayton Valley safe for pedestrians and motorists — especially throughout the winter months.

By working together, the Town of Drayton Valley and our citizens help ensure safe conditions and mobility for everyone. Please drive slowly and watch for pedestrians.

Seasonal parking ban

Seasonal parking bans support the snow removal and maintenance efforts of Town crews. When a parking ban is called, vehicles on the seasonal parking routes must be removed.

LOCATIONS

The seasonal parking ban will be located in the following areas:

  • 50 Street, from 54 Avenue (Industrial Road) south to 52 Avenue, 50 Avenue to 46 Avenue
  • 50 Avenue from 43 Street west to 54 Street

Permanent signage will be in place, clearly identifying the seasonal parking ban route areas

SEASONAL PARKING BAN

The seasonal parking ban will be declared when there is significant snow and ice accumulation and during major plowing events and will be in place until it is lifted.

When a seasonal parking ban is called, no parking is permitted on the designated seasonal snow routes and remains in force until the ban is lifted.

Once the ban is in effect, vehicles parked where the seasonal parking ban signage appears must be removed from those routes. Vehicles still in place once the ban is in effect are subject to ticketing and towing.

NOTIFICATION

Information on the seasonal parking ban will be posted on the Town’s:

Snow Removal Reminders

Please remember to obey “No Parking” signs; parked vehicles in the “No Parking” areas are subject to ticketing and towing. However, parking is acceptable in residential areas overnight between the hours of 7:00 pm and 7:00 am.

Please be patient as there may be slight delays while crews are removing snow. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please be advised that this schedule is subject to change without notice.

Be a Snow Angel

Lend a hand this year and assist a senior or community member with low mobility with keeping their walkways and driveways clear of ice and snow. Cleared walkways can make a world of difference in allowing safe accessibility in and out of a senior’s home.

There are two ways you can help:

Take some extra time when shoveling your sidewalk or ploughing your own driveway and give your neighbour a hand OR call 780-514-2206 and register as a volunteer with the Snow Angels program and be matched with a senior.

Volunteers may be individuals, families, teams or groups who enjoy working outside, want to make community connections, and prefer a flexible volunteer schedule.

If you are a resident who would like to sign up for Snow Angel services, please call the Town at 780-514-2206 to register.
