An attempt to explore ways around the overnight parking ban were blocked off by city council.

Councillor Andre Grzela suggested staff take a look at selling permits so people can park on the street during the wintertime, and would incorporate a way to notify those people of when snow removal would happen.

The notification would come through either robocalls, text messages or an app.

Councillors say it will just impede any progress for city workers.  The ban comes into effect November 1st.
