This project has concluded.

The City recognizes the importance of parking and curbside management, including signage that is clear and easy to understand. Easier to read parking signage is better for drivers and businesses, and helps to reduce congestion. That’s why we are trying out a few different approaches to improve parking signage to make it easier to understand where and when you can park.

  • Council decision

    On December 15, 2022, Council voted that the results of the Parking Signs Pilot project in the Exchange District be received as information and that none of the piloted parking signage be installed on City streets.

    While new signs will not be installed, the City will explore redesigning the accessible parking and accessible loading zone signs with the help of feedback from the pilot project. The City also intends to review ways to simplify the parking rules. This will help address feedback heard in the survey and focus groups that parking rules are complex, resulting in complicated parking signs.

    The Parking Signs Pilot project occurred from summer 2021 to spring 2022. The pilot project tested new parking guides and regulatory parking signs in the Exchange District. The new signs aimed to make it easier for drivers to know when and where they could park. The public provided feedback on the signs throughout the pilot project.

    Tell us what you think of the pilot parking signs and revised parking guides.

    Have your say until March 21, 2022.
