Along with the colder weather, changes to parking in Orillia are coming this November.
Overnight Parking Restrictions begin Nov. 15, 2021
The City of Orillia reminds residents that parking is prohibited on all municipal streets and parking lots between the hours of midnight and 7 a.m. from Nov. 15, 2021 through April 15, 2022.
When you go to bed on Sunday, Nov. 14, make sure your vehicle is not parked on the road or in a municipal parking lot as the restriction comes into effect when the clock strikes midnight. This prohibition is in effect regardless of weather conditions.
Orillia residents requiring off-street parking overnight are allowed to park within the boulevard (the space on their driveway between the sidewalk and the roadway) year-round, provided the vehicle is parked at least 1.5 meters back from the sidewalk and at least 1.5 meters back from the roadway.
Orillia residents are also reminded that parking on front lawns is not permitted.
Illegally parked cars can delay or impair the City’s snow plowing or sanding operations. All illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed.
