What Are We Asking?

The Residential Parking Program uses on-street parking time limits to manage visitor parking congestion from nearby major attractions. The program prioritizes resident access to on-street parking in areas with high demand for parking. Administration is seeking feedback to help answer the following questions:

• Is the Residential Parking Program effective in its current form?
• Are there opportunities to improve the way the Program operates?
• Does the Program still align with broader community values?

How Can You Get Involved?

Throughout the review there are going to be opportunities for residents and stakeholders to provide feedback on the Program. Public engagement activities will occur over two phases:

• Phase 1 – Public survey starting in October 2025; and,

• Phase 2 – Stakeholder meetings and community open houses in 2026.

   

Overview

The City is reviewing the Residential Parking Program to address recent regulation changes, increasing growth pressures in core neighbourhoods, and to identify other opportunities for improvement.

Residential areas adjacent to popular destinations such as commercial areas and major institutions may experience significant on-street parking congestion from visitor traffic. The Residential Parking Program applies parking time limits to promote vehicle turnover and allow residents access to street parking. The program is governed by Bylaw No. 7862, Residential Parking Program Bylaw, 1999.

The Residential Parking Program contains two types of zones: residential parking zones (RPP) and limited residential parking zones (LRPP). RPP zones have active-patrol parking enforcement while LRPP zones have complaint-driven enforcement. Saskatoon currently has three RPP zones and five LRPP zones. To view maps of the zones - see the "Map" tab.

Why Are We Doing This Work?

The Residential Parking Program was last reviewed in 2019. Since this time, changes in zoning regulations and continuing growth pressures in core neighbourhoods have highlighted a need to review the program. The review will also explore opportunities to improve program financial sustainability and make general administrative enhancements. Best practices in other growing cities and community feedback will be used to inform recommendations for program changes.
