The City of Saint John has initiated the alternate side parking changeover. If you park your vehicle on the street, you must switch sides tonight to avoid fines and ensure city crews can access the roads.

While the general changeover applies across the municipality, ongoing construction disrupts the standard rules in several specific areas. The City of Saint John notes that alternate side parking rules are suspended for specific streets.

Current Parking Suspensions

Construction work requires fixed parking rules for the following areas.

• Cliff Street: On street parking is restricted strictly to the even numbered side of the street.
• Charlotte Street: Between St. James Street and Ross Street, you can only park on the odd numbered side.
• St. James Street: Between Charlotte Street and Sydney Street, parking is limited to the odd numbered side.
• Sydney Street: Between St. James Street and Brittain Street, parking is prohibited on both sides of the street.

Pay attention to posted signs in these construction zones to ensure you comply with the temporary rules.
