Metered Parking/Pay and Display Parking - Costs

Metered parking is available throughout the downtown core. The cost for metered parking is $1.00 per hour. The maximum length of stay at meters varies (see below). Note that "Pay and Display" parking lots require that a minimum of $.25 (or 15 minutes) be purchased.

The meter revenue is used to help cover the costs to repair existing lots, replace outdated parking equipment, acquire new land for parking and maintenance.

Metered Parking/Pay and Display Parking – Time Limits

The majority of on-street metered parking has a 1 hour time limit, however, there are certain streets that have a 2 hour time limit. Please look for signage posted on the parking meters to determine the time limit. Please note that shorter on-street time limits help to ensure regular turn over of vehicles which provides an opportunity for customers to conveniently park in proximity to the business establishments.

The City encourages residents and visitors to park in the 3 hour or 8 hour municipal lots when parking is required for longer periods of time. Please look for signage posted which indicates the time limit in the lots.
