Edmonton motorists ignoring parking bans are prompting the city to look for solutions.

Councillors share frustrations at city hall over drivers not moving vehicles during mandatory parking bans.

Council voted for staff to research options for fines to get drivers to move vehicles off the streets.

Staff will come back with a strategy — potentially including towing and using more bylaw officers.
