Permits - bylaw enforcement - off-street - front yard - boulevard - disabled front yard - street allowance rental - on City property

An off-street parking permit is required if you wish to park in your front yard or on part of the City boulevard. With proper approval, residents or commercial property owners may rent part of the City owned boulevard to supplement space on private property. This program generally services those areas where driveways are not common or where driveway width is insufficient.
