Making Parking Easier

Parking in Saint John is a lot clearer.

The Uptown is covered in fresh, new parking signs that now clearly indicate where you can and can't park throughout the month. The 600+ signs replace the 6 year old ones that only stated where you can't park.

City traffic engineer Tim O'Reilly tells CHSJ news the new signs will make parking rules easier to understand in hopes of issuing less tickets. He says they have received many complaints that the old signs were clear as mud.

2 hour parking on certain uptown streets change from one side to the other side halfway through the month.

The parking commission says $17,000 was set aside in the 2012 capital budget to install them.
