With the start of the Victoria Day long weekend just days away, residents are anticipating the return of free overnight parking on most city streets.
A press release noted that as of Friday, May 19, personal vehicles and motorcycles will be able to stay on roadways or shoulders between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. without risking a ticket.
The exemption will end after the Labour Day long weekend on Monday, Sept. 4. Drivers will then need to buy overnight passes once again.
