Why do we use Calendar Parking?

Primary reasons for using Calendar Parking are:

• Provides enough space for two-way traffic flow.
• Allows space for Emergency vehicles (ex. Fire, Ambulance, Police) to get through easily and quickly in case of an emergency.
• Allows snowplow/removal and street sweepers to schedule appropriately.

What happens when people don’t follow Calendar Parking?

When Calendar Parking isn’t followed, the following can and does happen:

• Reduces space for emergency vehicles in case of an emergency.
• There’s not enough space for two-way traffic flow.
• Increases risk of vehicle collisions.
• Snowplow/removal and street sweepers may not be able to effectively operate.
• By-Law and Police authorized to issue parking tickets.

Other things to know:

• Calendar parking does not allow temporary parking as to not hinder traffic flow.
• By-Law Enforcement is very complaint-based, and to help ensure we are focusing on problematic areas, we appreciate residents helping with identifying those areas. Please use FortFrances.ca/Customer-Complaint-Form.
• By-law does have every right to ticket should calendar parking not be followed. Fees start at $20. These can be paid at the Town of Fort Frances Civic Centre.
