Street Sweeping - Teamwork at its best!

Calgary Parking plays a key role in ensuring the program is a success. Camera equipped cars help enforce temporary sweeping bans, but parking officers also validate these bans by verifying community signage is visible to residents ahead of time.

“A good reminder to avoid a ticket is keep your vehicle off the road for the duration of the ban (usually one full day 8am-4pm), as street sweepers will make multiple passes,” says Todd Sullivan, Leader, Parking Patrol and Investigation at Calgary Parking. “We coordinate enforcement alongside our teammates in Mobility to ensure our camera cars and sweepers are working as closely as possible.“

Event Signage

Calgarians will see signage posted notifying them of upcoming street sweeping in their community.

No parking is allowed on your street when Street Cleaning Community Signs with “No Parking” symbols are placed during Spring Clean-up. Any vehicle that has not been removed from the street is the subject of a parking infraction.

Vehicles are subject to be ticketed and towed if the 3-foot high "No Parking" signs are placed along the road. They will be placed at least 24 hours prior to street sweeping. If vehicles are towed:

• Calgary Parking pays for towing if the vehicle can be taken to a nearby space.
• The vehicle owner pays the ticket, tow, and impound fee, if it is taken to the Municipal Impound Lot.
