The City of Calgary lifted the snow route parking ban as of 7 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The city said in a Wednesday release its roads department had completed snow clearing on Calgary’s priority streets.
According to the City of Calgary website, the city tackles snow removal by clearing Priority 1 roads for the first 24 hours. Those are streets that see more than 20,000 vehicles per day.

Day 2 of the plan starts 24 hours after a snowfall ends.
Many of the snow route streets are considered Priority 2 roads because they are bus routes and roads designated as emergency routes.
During a snow route parking ban, vehicles must be off designated streets for up to 72 hours so crews have a chance to clear the roads.
Calgary implemented the first snow route parking ban of the year on Monday. By 7 a.m. Wednesday 2,945 tickets had been issued.
