The City of Calgary is moving ahead with changes to its residential parking permit program.
A city committee is considering a recommendation to charge for residential parking in Calgary. In a briefing Wednesday at council’s infrastructure and planning committee, councillors will review the updated plan prior to its planned implementation in December.
City administration says moving to the ‘Park Plus' enforcement system has reduced enforcement costs, along with the removal of four kilometres of permitted parking spaces in the city has enforcement costs and created efficiencies allowing the city to drop the price but still recover 100 per cent of the program’s $750,000 annual cost.
The most vocal of those was Ward 10 Coun. Andre Chabot who believes Calgarians should be allowed to park at least one vehicle on street near their home free of charge. The city defines market permits as being"for residents of eligible large, multi-residential buildings built after 1945, allowing the resident to park within 150 metres of their building."The briefing shows city administration wants to lower those fees from $150 per month to $105 per month. Second permits will drop from $100 per month to $50 and third permits to $75.
