City crews will soon be clearing the thick ice that is building up on residential streets.

The Residential Parking Ban will go into effect on Saturday at 7 a.m.

"With consistently milder temperatures in the immediate forecast, crews will be able to clear residential streets that have seen ice buildup due to recent thawing and freezing conditions, while minimizing the risk of extensive curb and boulevard damage during clearing operations," the City of Winnipeg says in a statement.

It will take a roster of roughly 300 heavy equipment pieces to clear this snow.

The city cautions drivers that if a vehicle violates the ban, they could receive a $150 ticket, or $112.50 if paid early. They say vehicles may also be towed to a nearby street.

'When a residential street is scheduled for snow clearing, residents are urged to find an alternate place to park such as an off-street driveway or parking lot, or a nearby street that has already been cleared."

The city is asking people to be familiar with their zones.

The snow clearing schedule includes:

Saturday, November 27, 2021 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday
C, G, J, L, P, S

Saturday, November 27, 2021 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Sunday
