Mayor’s Monday Mailbag – April 17, 2023 – Are There Any Updates on the City-Wide Parking Permit Program?

Welcome to the Mayor’s Monday Mailbag, an initiative Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and the Mayor’s Office launched to share weekly answers to questions from the public we’ve received through our main email inbox at mayor@burlington.ca or the Mayor’s social media platforms.At the end of the month, we publish a roundup of those most pressing questions we’ve received in the weeks prior.Mayor’s Monday Mailbag – April 17, 2023QUESTION:"Now that the online survey has closed, are there any updates on Burlington's city-wide parking permit program?”ANSWER:The City of Burlington is creating a new residential parking permit program for residential on-street parking. Parking in our city has seen a lot of changes over the years. Now, we need to offer you parking options to help you manage new ways of working, your changing family and the growth of our city through development. These changes look different for all of us and there are numerous factors to consider. For some, adult children and parents may be living at home, for others that live in tighter neighborhoods, parking may be an issue due to the design of the community.Now that the online public survey has closed, City staff will be reviewing the results between April and August 2023 and developing a draft parking permit program that will be released to the public for consultation and feedback, expected sometime in September-October 2023.Approaching November-December 2023, staff will then refine and finalize a proposed On-Street Parking Permit program and present a report to committee and Council.If Council approves the draft program, implementation of on-street parking permits is expected to begin in January 2024.To stay up-to-date on this process, please visit getinvolvedburlington.ca/parkingpermits and subscribe for email updates at the bottom of the page.
