Parking Consideration Requests

The City has introduced an on-line parking consideration request system that will send information directly to parking officers once the request is received. This will help eliminate the ticketing of vehicles that have requested parking consideration after business hours. It will also provide a confirmation of the request.

The City of Pickering accepts requests for parking consideration to allow residents or guests to park on the street in excess of 3 hours or between 2:00 am - 5:00 am (December 1 - March 31).

Parking consideration is granted for special circumstances such as overnight guests, driveway repairs, out-of-town visitors, construction, special functions, etc.

Parking consideration is granted a maximum of 21 days per calendar year, per vehicle license plate.

The exemption provided applies only to the 3 hour parking maximum or 2:00 am - 5:00 am parking prohibition. All other parking restrictions remain in effect, including prohibited parking and stopping areas, fire routes and the requirement to remove all vehicles from the street during snow clearing operations.

Under no circumstances is parking consideration granted for commercial, oversize, inoperable or unplated vehicles or trailers.

Submit a request for parking consideration. You will need to provide your name, address, telephone number, email address, vehicle(s) make and model, licence plate(s), dates required and the reason.
