February 10, 2026

Snowstorm declarations ending, drivers still reminded not to park where temporary orange “Snow Removal” signs are posted

The Major Snowstorm Condition and Significant Weather Event declarations, which came into effect on Sunday, January 25, will end today at 5 p.m.

The declarations helped to expedite plowing and snow removal after Toronto received approximately 90 cm of snow in two snowstorms in January, which opened up access for emergency and transit vehicles and improved accessibility of residential streets, sidewalks, bike lanes and school bus loading zones.

From January 16 to this morning, crews have hauled almost 300,000 tonnes of snow to designated snow storage sites as part of ongoing snow removal operations. Of this, nearly 240,000 tonnes were hauled away since these declarations came into effect.

Targeted snow removal will continue across the city with a focus on narrow streets, sidewalks and bike lanes. Drivers are reminded not to park where temporary orange “No Parking – Snow Removal” signs are posted in snowbanks as snow removal will take place on these streets within 24 to 48 hours. Vehicles left parked in these locations may be ticketed $100 or towed at the owner’s expense as they can interfere with snow removal operations.

Drivers should consider off-street parking whenever possible to help crews remove snow more quickly and effectively.

Residents can continue to report areas that need extra attention to 311.
