It’s very important to ensure that shared bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters are not blocking doors, or traveling along sidewalks and paths.
If you have questions about a bike, e-bike or e-scooter’s condition or payment, see one parked incorrectly, or notice a cluttering issue, contact the related vendor so they can address your concern.
Please park using the following guidelines:
- Park in an upright position, with all wheels touching the ground
- When parking on a sidewalk, you must be at least 0.5 metres from a curb and there must be a 1.8 metres clearance for people to walk along the sidewalk
- When parking on parkland, do not park within a metre of a shared pathway or trail
- When parking e-scooters and e-bikes at a Transit Centre or Community and Recreation Facility, only park in areas designated for bike parking without obstructing other bikes or the bike racks; do not park in the car stalls
- When sidewalks are less than 1.8 metres in width or in neighbourhoods with rolled curbs, you may park in the parking lane rather than on the sidewalk, provided it is within one vehicle width of the curb and not within
- An E-Park zone
- No parking zone
- No stopping zone
- Disabled parking zone or
- Loading zone
Do not:
- Park in an area which will block people walking, biking or driving
- Block doors, emergency exits, ramps, handrails, bus benches or bus shelters
- Park in a bike lane, shared pathway, alley or loading zone; on a bridge or in a median island
- Park inside a Transit Centre or Community and Recreation Facility, on an LRT platform, or take it onto a bus*
- Park within:
- 1.5 metres of benches, E-Park pay stations, transit signs, call boxes, crosswalk buttons, utility box or poles
- Five metres of a fire hydrant or fire department connection
- One metre of a shrub bed, tree, or naturally occurring vegetation other than grass
*The bike racks on buses are not designed to carry e-scooters. You may walk your e-scooter through LRT stations and onto trains outside peak hours Monday to Friday (7:30-9am and 4-5:30pm) and on weekends or holidays. Please note the meter on the e-scooter will continue to run while riding the LRT.
