*Please see below a news release issued by the City of Burlington.Burlington, Ont. — Feb. 8, 2021 — As the City of Burlington continues to monitor services during COVID-19, enforcement of the 5-hour parking limit will be reinstated for on-street parking starting Thursday, Feb. 11, 2021.Parking enforcement will resume for those illegally parked on neighbourhood streets past the five-hour limit in addition to safety-related issues such as fire routes, accessible parking, no parking/stopping areas and blocked areas, including parking lots at City parks.Residents needing to park on-street past the 5-hour limit can apply for a parking permit or exemptions online beginning on Feb. 11 at burlington.ca/parkingexemption.For more information on parking, visit www.burlington.ca/parking.

"The City parking team has been monitoring parking over the past 11 months. We’ve been tracking parking trends and noticed that some drivers are parking on-street for extended periods of time, while others working in the area are parking illegally. Drivers are also continuing to park on-street when it snows, making it challenging for snow plows to get through safely and do their job to clear our streets.With the potential end of the Ontario Stay-at-Home order, it seems like an appropriate time to start enforcing the 5-hour on-street parking limit to help keep our roads open to drivers and snow plows and keep our residents safe." -- Hayley Parkinson, Parking Supervisor, City of Burlington
