City Cracks down on Illegal PNE Parking

Residents around the PNE who offer their driveway as pay parking spots to fair-goers beware:  the city is sending out teams to make sure it’s legal.

Under city bylaws homeowners – unless they have a business licence – are only allowed to charge for one vehicle on their lot.

Any more and the fine can be as high as two-thousand-dollars.

Carli Edwards – the City’s Assistant Director of Inspections – says “what we’re concerned about is the impact that activity has so we’re concerned about the safety violations of people blocking the street and sidewalk and we’re also concerned about the nuisance it creates.”

The PNE charges 20-dollars to park at the fair.

Many homeowners are charging between ten and 15-dollars.
