Winter parking restrictions take effect in Barrie today.
That means no on-street parking from midnight–7 a.m. and 3–6am within the Downtown Business Improvement Area.
If required, the City of Barrie will post City service information related to the storm on Twitter (@cityofbarrie), Facebook (facebook.com/cityofbarrie) and barrie.ca/EmergencyManagement.
Service requests should be sent to Service Barrie by calling 705-726-4242 Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm (if the concern needs to be addressed after-hours, press zero for assistance), by emailing ServiceBarrie@barrie.ca, or by using the Pingstreet mobile app.
Plowing of City roads
The priority is the main roads—those with the most traffic in the city. These roads are serviced when at least five cm of snow has fallen. The secondary (residential) routes are plowed when there is at least eight cm of snow. The goal is to have most routes plowed 12–24 hours after the end of a snow event. With Barrie’s Plow Tracker, you can track the progress of the road plows and see when your street was last serviced. Remember, plows can’t avoid leaving snow at the bottom of driveways because they can’t lift the blades in between driveways. If you need help with snow removal, Snow Angels Canada is an online platform where residents who require assistance with snow shoveling can post a request for service and volunteers can reach out to help. Visit snowangelscanada.ca to sign up for help or to be a volunteer in your neighbourhood.
Sidewalk plowing
Sidewalk plowing is done on main sidewalks when five cm of snow falls and on residential sidewalks when there’s eight cm of snow.
