Starting March 29, 2026, the City of Hamilton will pilot Sunday parking enforcement to address a long-standing service gap and improve safety and fairness across the city. Currently, the City only conducts parking enforcement Monday through Saturday.
This six-month pilot will operate on Sundays between 5:45 a.m. and 10 p.m., addressing a long-standing gap in service. Enforcement will be complaint based, meaning officers will respond to resident concerns rather than proactively ticketing. This approach allows the community to adjust while existing parking rules continue to apply.
The pilot is designed to:
- Improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers by addressing parking issues that block sidewalks, bike lanes, and roadways.
- Enhance customer service by responding directly to resident-reported concerns.
- Collect data on demand, operational impacts, costs, and community response to inform future decisions.
The pilot will use existing Parking Enforcement and Customer Contact Centre resources. Findings and recommendations will be reported back to the Planning Committee in late 2026 to support informed decisions on potential seven-day-a-week parking enforcement.
