Residential Parking Permits

Program Updates

How we use our streets and curbside spaces can make a big difference in how our neighbourhoods look and feel, and how people can move around our city.

The Residential Parking Program was established in the early 1970's, and now, as part of the Curbside Management Strategy , the program will be updated to better prioritize the growing and competing demands for the space.

The City of Edmonton has gathered feedback from Edmontonians that will be used alongside industry best practices and road design standards to inform updates to the new program.
