Changes to on-Street Parking

As part of its mandate to manage the private use of the public right-of-way, the Winnipeg Parking Authority proposed to Council in March 2011 that changes be made to on-street parking in downtown Winnipeg. Consultation with stakeholders and residents in these areas has been undertaken and the next step in the process is public engagement.
