Parking Enforcement
Hamilton pilots Sunday parking enforcement
Starting March 29, 2026, the City of Hamilton will pilot Sunday parking enforcement to improve safety and ensure parking rules are applied consistently throughout the week. Currently, the City only conducts parking enforcement Monday through Saturday.
This six-month pilot will operate on Sundays between 5:45 am and 10 pm, addressing a long-standing gap in service. Enforcement will be complaint based, meaning officers will respond to resident concerns rather than proactively ticketing. This approach allows the community to adjust while existing parking rules continue to apply.
The pilot aims to:
- Keep sidewalks clear for people using mobility devices and strollers.
- Keep bike lanes open for cyclists and streets accessible for drivers and emergency vehicles.
- Ensure parking spaces, including accessible spaces, remain available for those who need them.
During the pilot, the City will collect data on service demand, operational impacts, costs and community feedback to help inform future decisions.
How to report a parking concern
Residents can report a parking concern by calling 905-546-2489.
City staff will report findings and recommendations to the Planning Committee in late 2026. The report will help inform decisions about whether to implement parking enforcement seven days a week.
