In alignment with the City’s Paid Parking Management Strategy (PPMS), the current two hour timed parking area on LeMarchant Road (between Pleasant Street and Albro Lane) will be transitioned to a paid parking area.

Paid parking ensures turnover and increases parking space availability in high demand areas. The paid parking area will have the same two hour maximum as the current timed parking area. Paid parking will cost $1.75 per hour, similar to other nearby paid parking areas. There will be no change to the residential permit parking area on LeMarchant Road.

Updated signage will be posted prior to parking enforcement coming into effect. All paid parking spaces will have both PayByPhone and Pay Stations available. Pay stations have multiple payment options including credit cards, debit cards (via the tap function) and mobile payment. A cell phone is not required to park and pay.

The PPMS was approved by council in 2018 and included 57 recommendations aimed at ensuring the effective use of city parking resources through strategic parking initiatives.
