Currently, 60 per cent of residential streets — about 400 kilometres — utilize the permit system; the rest, about 235 kilometres, don’t, said Kyp Perikleous, director of Transportation Services. The service is surveying streets that don’t have permit parking in place to quantify potential spaces available. “It’s always been something initiated by the residents.” The permit parking system in the district collects about $11 million in revenue annually and an upgraded system could take in about $2 million more, he added. “People in huge sections of the district are parking overnight with no consequence,” she said, adding consistent and fair parking laws should be applied across the city. “You either have overnight permit parking or it’s the underlying bylaw,” he said.
