Origin
Summary
On September 25, 2007 Transportation Services launched its first on-line service by making temporary parking permits available through the internet. This service enhancement allows the public 24/7 access to the convenience of obtaining a parking permit for a period of 7 days from their home or office without having to visit a City location.
To accommodate a shorter term visitor parking permit this report seeks approval from City Council to establish 24 and 48 hour Temporary Residential Overnight and Weekend On-street Parking Permit. The introduction of 24 and 48 hour permits will allow "overnighter" and "weekender" visitors to residents on streets designated under the permit parking program access to temporary permits on line 24/7.
