The City of Gatineau says unlimited parking is now permitted on its streets, day and night, regardless of the signs.
There are a few by-laws remaining in place for the following situations:
- Pay parking on the street and in parking lots (parking meters);
- Handicap accessible parking spots;
- No stopping zones;
- Prohibited parking zones;
- Within five metres of a fire hydrant, stop sign or intersection
- Areas reserved for emergency vehicles; and
- On sidewalks, shoulders and curbs.
The city says it is taking these measures to help those self-isolating, in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
