Critical parking process

You can learn how we establish new critical parking areas.

When we make new critical parking areas

We'll look into establishing a critical parking area if

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