Up to three hours of free parking weekdays from noon to 6 pm
The free afternoon parking will be available until December 31st at city owned on-street metered spots and city owned parking lots with pay machines.
The city emphasizes motorists are still subject to the city’s three-hour time limit for parking in the downtown.
New this year, downtown visitors will also be able to park at the Ontario Street garage as part of the promotion.
The free parking at the garage is available from noon to 6 pm., for up to three hours, but motorists who park there must get a voucher from a downtown business to take advantage of the free offer.
