The City of Brampton has closed city owned parking garages and lots as a measure aimed at controlling the spread of the coronavirus.

The city said the following lots and garages are closed to the public until further notice:

• Nelson Square Parking Garage (2 Diplock Ln.)

• John Street Parking Garage (16 John St.) Note: Resident parking remains open

• George Street North Surface Parking (Northeast corner of George Street North and Diplock Lane)

• City Hall Parking Garage (2 Wellington St. W.)

• West Tower Parking Garage (41 George St.)

While those lots and garages are closed, the city added on-street parking enforcement outside of blocking driveways, emergency routes or equipment.

“The city hasn’t been and won’t be enforcing on-street parking with the exceptions of health, safety and emergency services related matters such as: blocked driveways and fire hydrants, road obstructions, fire routes, and ensuring emergency vehicles have passage,” read an emailed statement.
