It’s all about pushback today for the City of Saint John and its staff as they try to plow 25 centimetres of snow off the streets.
For those clearing the streets, the storm didn’t officially end until 9 o’clock last night.
City Traffic Engineer Tim O’Reilly tells CHSJ News that cars left on city streets yesterday limit the level of service the city can provide.
He says despite the well intentions of residents as to why vehicles are being left on the street but the bottom line is they can’t plow the streets when cars are parked there.
Due to the combination of New Year’s Eve and it being a changeover night for parking, the City is not putting an overnight snow parking into effect.
O’Reilly would not rule it out as a possibility for later in the week.
No Overnight Snow Ban Tonight
