Parking
Our on-street parking strategies aim to provide neighbourhood residents and authorized visitors accessible parking in the UNA neighbourhoods.
Our on-street parking strategies aim to provide neighbourhood residents and authorized visitors accessible parking in the UNA neighbourhoods. We recognize that many types of visitors need to park in UNA neighbourhoods, including shoppers and guests of residents. The parking management strategy is meant to accommodate these visitors while addressing the prevalent issue of limited space.
Parking Permits are available to residents of Wesbrook Place and Hawthorne Place within each of their respective neighbourhoods. There are no parking permits for residents of Hampton Place, Chancellor Place, or East Campus.
We have Your Guide to Parking Signs to help.
