The City of Orillia is clarifying parking on the boulevard–the space on the driveway between the sidewalk and the roadway.
There are rules to follow so winter snow clearing operations are not impacted and so there are safe sight lines for driverfs.
The vehicle in the boulevard must be at least 1.5 meters back from the sidewalk and at least 1.5 meters back from the roadway.
“The City of Orillia wants to provide residents with the opportunity to use their driveway to its full capacity for parking; however, parking within the boulevard cannot interfere with sightlines for drivers and the ability for staff to carry out winter operations such as sidewalk clearing and snow plowing,” said Wesley Cyr, Manager of Engineering and Transportation.
Council approved a by-law amendment to allow parking in the boulevard in June 2018.
