Evolution of Parking

A Brief History of Parking

2018: Parking is Changing

Over the next year, you’ll start to see changes to how the City manages parking. The introduction of photo-enforced parking that enables officers to focus on your safety, the installation of curbside electric vehicle charging stations and the creation of new residential parking programs to help address increased parking congestion - these are just some of the ways that we’re working to bring parking management into the future.

For over seventy years, Edmonton’s growth has impacted the way we park - and the way we move. We’ve added bike lanes, new LRT routes and are seeing more people driving electric cars and using car-sharing services. If we want to remain a world-class City, we’ll need to keep making world-class advancements.

2016: EPark Replaced Coin Meters

In 2016, coin meters were replaced with the EPark system - giving drivers the flexibility to pay for parking with credit cards or on their smartphones.

1948: First Parking Meters Installed

Parking in 1948

We’ve been managing parking since the 1940’s. It was in 1948 that Edmonton installed its first parking meters downtown. Before then, people hitched their horses or parked their carriages and cars wherever they could - imagine the chaos.

The Future of Accessible Parking

In the coming months, the City will be working with Edmonton’s Accessibility community, including the City of Edmonton’s Accessibility Advisory Committee to discuss ways that the City can improve accessibility and proximity for placard holders, including the impact the upcoming Automated Enforcement Program will have on placard holders.

As a part of this work, the City is currently in the process of identifying opportunities for immediate changes to increase the number of designated on-street accessible stalls, and explore technology options that enable placard holders to continue using courtesy parking in all EPark zones.
