In this area (view map), a large number of non-residents take up on-street spots all day. This creates parking challenges for area residents and their short-term visitors' parking needs. Issuing a limited number of on-street permits to allow all-day parking in a controlled manner helps distribute the parking supply and offers area residents predictable parking, while freeing up on-street spots for those in need of short-term parking.

Residents

Most residents don't require a permit as there are no parking restrictions in the early morning, late afternoon, evening, overnight (with the exception of overnight winter regulations), weekend or on holidays. Permits are required for residents that need to park in morning or afternoon time restricted areas. Residents that require regular, all-day, weekday on-street parking will be issued a monthly permit that exempts parkers from all time of day restrictions. Permit holders are exempt from the daytime on-street parking regulations.

Permit rate

• Monthly - $25 ($12 for residents that don't have on-site parking)

Before applying
