snow events.
When a snow clearing operation commences, the City will share the proposed schedule on its news feed at News | City of Brandon as well as on its Facebook and Instagram accounts. Daily updates will be provided at 2 p.m. throughout active snow clearing operations.

About Snow Clearing Operations:
Snowfall accumulation, snow density, humidity, fluctuating temperatures, wind velocity and direction, along with the time of year, all influence the City’s response to snow events.
The City uses a priority-based system for street clearing, determined by street classification and traffic volume.
Street clearing operations always begin with Priority 1A Route, which includes key streets, sidewalks, and walking paths to ensure safe and efficient mobility for all. In emergency situations, snow removal equipment may be redirected as necessary to support police, fire, or ambulance response vehicles.
More information about priority routes is available at Roads, Parking & Transportation | City of Brandon
Parking Restrictions During Snow Clearing Operations:
The City has an established snow route parking ban, which is in effect annually from Nov. 15 to Mar. 31, between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
After more than 5 cm of snow and/or winds that cause drifting on snow routes, the City’s Public Works Department may declare a parking restriction.
Vehicles parked along designated snow routes during restrictions risk being ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense during a snow event.
Designated Snow Routes:
• Rosser Ave.: 1st St. – 34th St.; and 1st St. E. – 13th St. E.
• Princess Ave.: 1st St. – 18th St.; 18th St. – Whillier Dr.; 1st St. E. – 13th St. E.
• Louise Ave.: 13th St. – 18th St.
• 9th St.: Pacific Ave. – Princess Ave.
• 10th St.: Pacific Ave. – Princess Ave.
In addition to the designated snow routes, parking restrictions may be enforced in residential areas during snow clearing operations. Signs will be posted by 4 p.m. Please watch for No Parking signs in your neighbourhood.
