The Development Services and Engineering Department receives numerous requests from residents requesting a change to the existing on-street parking by-law restriction on their roadway.

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines, procedures and criteria for the initiation, investigation and implementation for the requests of on-street parking by-law regulation changes. If you wish to initiate the process, the steps to do so can be found in the policy document below. You will have to complete an application and provide a petition with supporting residents.
