Designated On-Street Parking for People with Disabilities

The City of New Westminster has a policy for residential neighbourhood on-street parking designated for people with disabilities.

Policy:

• On-street parking for people with disabilities cannot be established in an area already restricted as ‘No Parking’ or ‘No Stopping’
• On-street parking for people with disabilities will not be designated where accessible off-street parking (driveway, garage or parking lot) is available
• On-street parking designated (signed) for people with disabilities does not exempt a vehicle from other parking regulations
• Parking spaces designated for people with disabilities may be used by anyone with a valid SPARC BC permit
• The City reserves the right to reject requests for parking spaces for people with disabilities that may be used infrequently or cause a hazard to the public
• Parking spaces for people with disabilities are subject to review every three (3) years, or when deemed necessary. Should the need no longer exist, the designated parking space signage will be removed
• When the parking space is no longer needed due to the applicant’s change in residence or change in eligibility, the applicant or a member of their household must notify the City of New Westminster’s Engineering Services within thirty (30) days of this change.
