Residential Parking Program
Residential parking permit holders can only park in their specific residential zone and are required to obey all traffic by-laws, including all annual snow route bans, residential parking bans, and public works street works signs for spring street cleaning.
Residential Parking Programs help communities manage non-resident vehicles in their neighbourhood by restricting the amount of time non-residents can park. Through the permit system, eligible residents can be exempted from timed restrictions.
Residential parking permits are available to residents who live on a residential street that have one or two hour residential time restrictions in place or where a meter was installed to replace the time restriction.
Only one vehicle license plate will be allowed to be registered per residential parking permit. There continues to be a limit of 3 permits per residence.
