Following Council’s adoption of amendments to the Fees and Charges Bylaw 2019-37 during budget deliberations held December 10, 2019, the City of Penticton will see its parking rates increases for January 1, 2020.
“We’re introducing these changes to be inline with other municipalities,” says Bylaw Services Supervisor, Tina Siebert. “The changes will help to cover ongoing maintenance and labour costs in the future.”
Residents can expect the following changes to occur taking effect:
• Increase on-street hourly parking rate by 25 cents (to $1.25) to cover ongoing maintenance of parking meter heads and increased labour costs
• Increase hourly charge in city parking lots by 25 cents (to $1.25) to cover increased labour costs/align with other municipalities best practice
• Increase off-street monthly scramble parking permits (unassigned) by $5 (to $50) to align with comparable municipalities and private lots
• Increase off street reserved monthly parking permits by $10 (to $60) to align with comparable municipalities
• Increased application fee for sidewalk closure and parking meter rental permits by $20
