Snow routes in the City of Lethbridge are in effect as of Thursday morning, giving residents 24 hours to move vehicles that are parked on streets along the active route or risk being ticketed.
The snow route went into effect at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, January 11th and remain in place until the city announces otherwise. Vehicles left parked along the snow route at 9:30 a.m. Friday, January 12th while the routes are in place and crews are doing snow removal work could be ticketed.
