Upcoming Budget Deliberations Marda Loop Urban Design Study Open House – June 23
Snow Route Parking Bans This winter Calgary will implement Snow Route parking bans for the first time in our City’s history. Snow Route parking bans are temporary parking restrictions on designated routes that will be in effect for up to 72 hours following snow falls of 2 inches/5 centimetres or more. The City will declare a “snow event” in order to clear Priority 1 and 2 roadways. These streets are now signed with small street signs depicting a white snowflake on a blue background, but only at the beginning of each designated street. Watch for these signs in your community. You can sign up on the City’s website at www.calgary.ca for automatic email alerts to determine when an official snow event is declared or when one is lifted in The City of Calgary. 
Upcoming Budget Deliberations On June 28, Council confirmed its Fiscal Plan for Calgary and approved the indicative rate increases for 2012-2014, which include property tax, water, wastewater, and waste and recycling.
