The days of free parking on a busy street near the Ottawa Hospital General Campus may be coming to an end.
Vehicles parked on Lynda Lane near the Ottawa Hospital General Campus. Coun. Marty Carr wants the city to update its parking strategy for the road to see if paid parking should be implemented to address concerns. A motion to examine parking regulation on a busy street near the Ottawa Hospital General Campus is being put in park, as debate rages at Ottawa City Hall and on the streets about whether parking should be free on the residential street.
Signs posted on Lynda Lane show motorists can park for free for a maximum of two hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Between Dec. 1 and March 31, a no-stopping rule is in effect on a section of Lynda Lane for winter weather options. Tierney tells CTV News Ottawa staff will work with Coun. Carr on seasonal parking rules along Lynda Lane, with the goal to have changes in place next winter.Tom Moore received a $130 ticket for violating the no-stopping zone on Wednesday.
"Sometimes I've gone to appointments and you actually have to wait like 20 minutes or like 10 minutes for people to come out of the parking lot." Statistics provided to CTV News Ottawa by Coun. Carr show there were 1,598 parking tickets issued on Lynda Lane between June 1, 2023 and the end of February. Carr says there was an increase in parking tickets issued in December, January and February, due to the no-stopping zone coming into effect on a section of Lynda Lane.
"Residents are reminded to note all posted signage starting from the top down before parking. The top sign will always take precedence over the others. The restriction is clearly signed with the dates shown. The fine for parking in a No Stopping Zone is $130, with an early payment option of $110." Ontario Premier Doug Ford has ruled out allowing municipalities to build fourplexes, despite it being one of the province’s housing affordability task force recommendations and a mandatory factor federal infrastructure funding.
