New changes to residential parking only (RPO) regulations underway
If you live on a block with residential parking only (RPO) regulations, we'll be asking you if you prefer:
- An upgrade to resident permit parking (RPP) - a regularly patrolled fee-based permit system, OR
- Removal of existing resident parking only (RPO) - leaving the block unregulated
If a block changes to resident permit parking (RPP), a combination of permit parking and time limit (except with permit) regulations will be installed. Permit holders can park anywhere on the block at all times.
Know the rules
Note Remember to affix your decal to your vehicle's windshield upon receipt.
Note Phone 3-1-1 if your permit does arrive in the mail within 10 business days.
Your permit is valid if:
- You park within the zone that your residential address is in (for example: if you have a West End decal, you can't park in the Mount Pleasant zone)
- Your vehicle’s licence plate number is currently in the permit system
- Your permit is affixed to your windshield
Your permit is invalid if:
- You move, change your vehicle, or licence plate
- Your licence plate doesn't match your permit
- Your permit is not affixed to your windshield
A residential parking permit will allow you to park in your designated permit zone. It doesn't guarantee that you'll have parking in front of your property.
We typically install a combination of ‘No Parking Except with Permit’ and ‘Time limited Except with Permit ‘ signs to:
- Manage areas where street parking is in high demand
- Provide parking options for residents, visitors, and service providers
- Allow Parking Enforcement to recognize non-permitted vehicles on sight and with licence plate recognition (LPR) technology
