The Town of Stouffville is lifting winter parking restrictions this holiday season from Dec. 24 to 26 and Dec. 31 to Jan. 1. Residents and visitors will not have to obtain parking permits and will not receive tickets for three-plus hour and overnight parking during these dates.

“We want our residents and visitors to have one less thing to worry about during this busy season,” says municipal law enforcement supervisor, Teresa Hector. “Have your family and friends over safely for the holidays without concern of parking restrictions for guests.”

If, however, there is a major snowfall during the given dates, the town does ask that vehicles be removed from the streets so that snow removal vehicles can safely do their job. The lifted holiday restrictions will become null and void if this situation occurs.

Winter restrictions for on-street parking take effect Dec. 1 until March 31. On typical days, the restrictions prohibit all on-street parking between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Vehicles violating the town’s parking bylaw may be ticketed, with fines beginning at $50.
