Starting March 1, hourly downtown parking rates will go up by 25 cents to $2.
This rate increase applies to downtown parking lots and City meters on Farquhar Street, Fountain Street, Delhi Street and Westmount Road.
All paid meters have a two–hour maximum.
Hourly parking rates apply Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at West Parkade, East Surface, Baker Street, Macdonell Street, Wilson Street and Wyndham Street lots.
Parking is generally free after 6 p.m. with the exception of special events.
A flat fee of $5 is charged for special events outside of regular payment hours at West Parkade, East Parkade, East Surface and Baker Street lots.
