Benefits
The new Commercial Loading Permit Program provides increased access to downtown commercial loading zones as large trucks more than six metres require the length of those zones to park, and do not have other options.
Commercial vehicles less than six metres in length are able to fit into regular 20-minute vehicle parking spaces, so the $100 per year permit will provide an option for these commercial vehicles to purchase an annual permit to park at 20-minute meters, or continue to pay for 20-minute meters when required.
Background
The Provincial Government ended its permit program that allowed commercial vehicles to load and unload at downtown commercial loading zones. The City introduced a new Commercial Loading Permit program on January 1, 2020.
