The City of Kingston uses overnight on-street parking restrictions to respond quickly to winter weather. Plows are large vehicles, and it is safer, easier and more efficient to clear streets without vehicles parked on them.
In March 2022, City Council approved a pilot project that would see the City implement a winter weather-based parking bylaw. This bylaw introduced a weather-based approach to parking on Kingston’s streets during the winter:
During the months of December and March, overnight on-street parking is permitted, so long as a parking ban is not called in advance of winter weather.
During the months of January and February, a blanket ban is in effect and overnight on-street parking is not permitted.
In January and February, when we typically see more frequent snowstorms, which require snow plowing and snow removal operations, a parking ban is place each night. In December and March, when we typically see fewer snowstorms, overnight on-street parking is banned only if required due to winter weather forecasts and operational needs.
Following two full winters of this pilot project, staff will gather feedback and report back to Council with engagement data and recommendations for the future of overnight winter weather-based parking regulations in Kingston.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your input on the City's winter weather-based winter parking bylaw.
The winter weather-based parking bylaw applies to the months of December and March. During these months, overnight on-street parking is permitted, so long as a parking ban is not called in advance of winter weather. During January and February, a blanket ban is in effect and overnight on-street parking is not permitted, regardless of the forecast.
The survey is estimated to take 5 minutes to complete.
The survey closes at 4 p.m. on Friday, July 12.
If for any reason you would like to answer the survey by phone or in writing, connect with us.
Request a paper copy of the survey by calling 613-546-0000. We will provide a postage-paid envelope to return the survey to City Hall.
Complete the survey over the phone with City staff by calling 613-546-0000.
Your feedback will be shared with City Departments and Partner Agencies, and presented to City Council in the fall. An engagement summary of feedback will also be available on the Get Involved Kingston project page.
