When we make new critical parking areas

The City will consider establishing a critical parking area if:

  • The area has high traffic with regular visitors to businesses and facilities
  • There is not enough street parking near residents' homes
  • There is a lot of vehicle noise, pollution and congestion
  • Designating a critical parking area would improve:
    • Resident safety and well-being
    • Create a more attractive and livable neighborhood
