Request a new residents-only parking zone
Do you live on a street without residents-only parking? Would you like for a new zone to be created? Find out how.
The procedure for requesting that a residents-only parking zone be created on a street where there isn’t one varies from one borough to another. It can be complex. Call 311 and the agent will be able to give you more information.
Usually, there are two specific cases:
- A residents-only parking zone is planned for your street, but hasn’t yet been created. Just ask when it will be ready.
- No new parking zone is planned for your borough. Check the procedure for your borough.
Examples of procedures
You may be asked to get a certain number of signatures (a petition) from residents on your street to justify a new parking zone being created.
The borough may also survey residents or launch a public consultation instead of or in addition to the petition.
In all cases, the information collected will be compiled into a study that will be used to make a decision. The process may take several months.

A parking area is already planned
A residents-only parking zone is already planned for your street but hasn’t been created yet. Call 311 to make a request. The approximate date of implementation will be communicated to you later.
No parking area planned
If you wish to create a new resident parking zone, you must obtain the signatures of at least 25 per cent of the residents of the street section in question. Call 311 to make a request. We will then send you the petition documents.
Petition
The petition package includes explanatory documents, indicating such things as the number of signatures required for a valid petition.
Study
Once the valid petition is received, our team analyzes it and writes an internal report.
The following are elements that could support the creation of a resident-only parking zone:
- A high occupancy rate: More than 70 per cent of the street section covered by the petition must be occupied for four consecutive hours by parked cars.
- A reasonable match between the number of spaces available and the number of stickers to be issued: The number of parking spaces matches as closely as possible the number of stickers that could be issued.
- Reasonable impact on the operations of surrounding businesses and establishments: A new resident parking zone will not prevent outsiders from shopping in your neighbourhood.
The entire process can take several months.
