Neighbourhood On-Street Parking Program (NOSPP)

In designated areas, vehicles are permitted to park on residential streets between 1 and 6 a.m., 7 days a week. A parking permit is not required.

On July 11, 2016, report TS-04-16 was presented to Burlington City Council, recommending the introduction of an on-street residential pay parking permit program for residents who have more vehicles than they can park on their own property (garage and driveway).

At the July 18 meeting of Burlington City Council, the following was approved:

The city's Neighbourhood On-Street Parking Program (NOSPP) will continue in the neighbourhoods and streets that currently have this designation. No new applications for a NOSPP designation will be accepted.
Effective, Sept. 1, 2016, a pay permit will be available for streets in the Alton community. A limit of one permit per household will be issued. The cost for the permit will be $30 per month or $350 per year.

The pay permit will allow vehicles to park on the street 24 hours a day, not to exceed 48 hours on the same street. All other parking offences are applicable.
