Residential Parking Program Review
Varsity View Open House
The City established the Residential Parking Program (RPP) Bylaw in 1999 in response to parking concerns in residential areas that experience significant on-street parking congestion.
The program designates certain streets as Residential Parking Zones which limit non-resident parking to a short period of time.
With the rapid growth of the city in recent years, demand for on-street parking has increased. A comprehensive review of the RPP is required to identify revisions to the bylaw that will better address current needs and pressures.
We invite you to provide your input in the following ways:
Tuesday, June 18, 2019
4 to 8 p.m.
Albert Community Centre, 610 Clarence Ave. S.
