The city is removing a number of resident-only parking zones in Edmonton and bringing in a fee for residents in other zones who want to retain their parking permits.
The city’s urban planning committee voted in favour of the changes to the residential parking program on Tuesday.
There are currently 19 residential parking program areas in the city, including areas around post-secondary institutions, major event venues, and transit centres which the city calls traffic generators.
As a result of the vote, residential parking restrictions in areas where there are no traffic generators will be removed.
Residential parking in the following areas will be replaced with universal two-hour parking zones, paid e-parking areas, or free parking:
- Belgravia
- Belvedere
- Boyle Street
- Central McDougall
- Century Park
- Glengarry
- Groat Estates
- Holyrood
- McKernan
- Northlands
- Oliver (Wîhkwêntôwin)
- Parkallen
- Rossdale
- Royal Gardens
- Southgate
The following areas will have their resident-only parking zones reduced:
- Commonwealth Stadium (reduced by 30 per cent)
- Garneau …
