Pay parking prevents drivers from parking too long in one place. This encourages more frequent turnover of parking spaces, so business patrons and visitors can find parking.
You can request a review of pay parking in your area to add or remove pay parking. If you're a business owner, speak with your Business Improvement Area first if there are no existing meters or pay stations in your area.
Information icon We only remove pay parking when it impacts the visibility of motorists or safety of road users.
How we review your request
If you want pay parking to be added or removed, we will:
- Investigate whether there is demand for short-term parking
- Verify if the area is located in an approved pay parking zone
- Send your request for approval
- If approved, install or remove pay parking
Reserve parking
A temporary special zone permit allows you to reserve metered or restricted parking spaces for:
- Construction
- Moving trucks
- Deliveries
- Service work
