Why The Changeover Matters

This seasonal shift allows city crews to clear streets effectively during the upcoming winter months. Snow removal and street maintenance depend on clear roadways. When you park on the wrong side, you block plows and maintenance vehicles. The city will issue fines to anyone ignoring the updated parking rules.

How to Avoid a Ticket

Pay close attention to the street signs in your neighbourhood. The signage dictates exactly which side of the street is safe for parking on specific days or halves of the month. If you are unsure about the rules for your specific street, you can review the official guidelines on the alternate side parking page.
