Calgarians living in residential parking zones are starting to hear tell of the new pay structure awaiting them when their current permits with the city expire.
In a recent email to some residents, the Calgary Parking Authority said, "You are receiving this email as a result of the policy changes to the residential parking permit program that were approved by council in January 2021, following two years of engagement with Calgarians. The revised program aims to increase street-use efficiency and fairness, support businesses and be better positioned for long-term sustainability.
And a "market permit" for those living in large multi-residential buildings built after 1945, who will pay $150 per month if it's city centre, $100 per month if it's inner city or $75 per month if it's suburbs.Chris Blaschuk, manager of the Calgary Parking Authority, says the city came up with the fee structure in 2020."Revenues from parking are generally returned to the city to fund different initiatives and priorities of city council.
"And that certainly is maintained with the changes to the program. We're recovering the fee directly from those users rather than subsidizing it from the balance of the parking program."He's retired and living on a fixed income."You have to pay for the car, you have to pay for visitor parking on top of that."
