The City of Winnipeg is looking to implement a five-year strategy for how it manages curbside space, parking, and mobility services.
The parking and mobility strategy would:
- add paid parking spaces across the city,
- pilot electric vehicle charging stations on downtown streets,
- develop an app to provide real-time information on on-street parking availability, parking rates, loading zones, accessible parking spaces and residential permit zones, and
- update accessibility signs for drivers with disabilities.
“This is about helping drivers by making parking easier to find, improving access for deliveries and people with mobility challenges, and making sure curbside space is managed fairly and efficiently as our city continues to grow,” Mayor Scott Gillingham said in a news release.

If adopted by council, the city would phase in the $270,000 strategy over five years. More money could be allocated to the strategy in future budgets, the plan states.
