City of Edmonton invites public to ‘park’ their thoughts on residential parking |
October 15, 2026
The City of Edmonton invites the public to weigh in as it modernizes its approach to curbside management and residential parking. The month-long public engagement process will help inform the redesign of the Residential Parking Program (RPP) to ensure it reflects community needs while balancing access, livability and the efficient use of curbside space.
Starting today until November 15, residents across the city have multiple online and in-person opportunities to share their residential parking experiences. Public engagement participants will be asked to consider their values, priorities and the trade-offs they are willing to make. All details can be found at engaged.edmonton.ca/ResidentialParking.
Online engagement opportunities
Residents can share their thoughts on residential curbside parking through Engaged Edmonton by:
- Completing a comprehensive public opinion survey
- Participating in short weekly polls
- Using the Curbside Compass: Interactive Parking Tool to explore parking options and see their benefits and trade-offs on a sample street
In-person engagement opportunities
Residents can also share their views with project team members at the following in-person pop-up events:
- Friday, October 16, from 5 to 7 p.m.: Commonwealth Community Recreation Centre
- Saturday, October 17, from 3 to 5 p.m.: Stanley A. Milner (Downtown) Library
- Sunday, October 18, from noon to 2 p.m.: Strathcona Public Library
- Tuesday, October 20, from noon to 2 p.m.: Highlands Public Library
- Tuesday, October 20, from 5 to 7 p.m.: Whitemud Crossing Public Library
- Saturday, October 24, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre
Residential Parking Program changes coming soon
Input from this engagement process will help inform recommendations for a redesigned Residential Parking Program and shape the future of the City’s broader curbside and parking programs.
Administration will present recommendations for a redesigned Residential Parking Program to Council in early 2027. If Council approves the redesigned program, implementation will be supported by neighbourhood-specific communications, public education and change management before approved changes take effect.
About Residential Parking Program
The RPP was established in the 1970s and has remained largely unchanged since then. The program helps manage parking demand in neighbourhoods while recognizing that curbside space is a shared resource. Edmonton has 19 Residential Parking Program zones, with 4,800 active resident permits and 1,200 temporary permits issued annually.
