The Town of Okotoks has placed their new Priority One routes into effect and has announced the possibility of parking bans along certain routes.

Roads impacted by the restrictions could be affected by the parking bans however will not always be under the bans.

The Town has stated they will try to provide a 48 hours notice to the routes before any bans begin for maintenance purposes.

When these routes are under bans the Town will send out these notices via their website, social media and also broadcasted on the Eagle 100.9.

Bans could be declared for a number of reasons from street sweeping to snow clearing as well as road construction or repairs.

Vehicles found not removed from routes with bans in place can be subject to written notices, verbal warnings, fines up to $150 or vehicles being towed.

Parking bans are usually only in place to allow certain work to get done efficiently and allow enforcement of parked vehicle bylaws.
