Frequently Asked Questions

What is alternate side parking?

This parking system requires drivers to park on one specific side of the street on alternating days or seasons. This allows city crews to clear snow, sweep streets, and perform regular maintenance without navigating around parked cars.

Where is parking completely prohibited right now?

You cannot park on either side of Sydney Street between St. James Street and Brittain Street due to the current construction exceptions.

How do I know which side of the street is odd or even?

Look at the civic address numbers on the houses or buildings on that side of the street. If the numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, that is the odd numbered side. If they end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, that is the even numbered side.
