As Oakville moves into Phase 3 of Ontario's recove

As Oakville moves into Phase 3 of Ontario's recovery plan, the @townofoakville has advised that paid parking and time limits on parking will resume in #DTOakville, @kerrvillagebia, and @bronteevents beginning today, August 4. For the first few days of implementation, parking enforcement will educate visitors of parking violations with a warning ticket.
⠀

To encourage contactless payment, the Town is offering first-time users of the @honkmobile app up to $5 toward their parking, using the promo code OAK2020, through to the end of the year.
⠀
In Downtown Oakville, the first hour of each weekday visit continues to be free using promo code DOWNTOWN, a construction mitigation strategy that was introduced last year. Parking continues to be free in Downtown Oakville at the following times:
After 6 p.m. Mon-Fri
On Sundays
On holidays
On Saturdays (for the remainder of the year)
⠀
Permit Holders
Permit holders will be charged starting September 1, 2020. If you do not have a monthly parking permit and would like to purchase one, click here and go to the 'commercial area parking permits' tab.
⠀
Quick Stop Parking
The Town has established temporary curbside pickup spaces for quick stops in all three shopping areas to facilitate curbside pickups.
⠀
All pay-by-plate machines, meters, and municipal parking lots will be open and accept payment beginning Tuesday, with the exception of the Church Street Parkade, which will be open to permit holders only until alternate payment methods can be implemented.
⠀
If you have questions about the @townofoakville’s parking program, please contact Town Hall.
