Please watch for ‘no parking’ signs and move parked vehicles from roadways on which ‘no parking’ signage is posted. Moving parked vehicles from roadways allows crews to conduct street sweeping operations safely and more efficiently.

Motorists are asked to keep a safe distance from the street sweeper and take alternate routes to avoid street sweeping equipment where possible.
Street sweeping updates will be posted regularly to the Town of Ponoka website at www.ponoka.ca and on social media.
Street sweeping is done weather permitting and may be interrupted due to inclement weather.
