Winter Parking During Storms

During the winter the city of Ottawa can announce an on street parking ban during and after large snow storms. During this time all vehicles must be removed from the street (this includes parking bays). These bans can come during the day or night. They are announced on local media, City of Ottawa social media or you can sign-up below to receive an e-mail. If you sometimes park on the street it is important to plan for and make arrangements to park in an off-street location during these events.

To receive e-mail notification of winter parking bans sign-up here: https://forms.ottawa.ca/en/form/esubscriptions/signup-form

Locations where off street parking can be found during bans can be found here: https://ottawa.ca/en/parking-roads-and-travel/parking/winter-parking#section-b69d2bce-98c4-495a-a807-23164d840252

The closest to Wateridge is Dr. John Hopps Park on Den Haag Drive, near La Cite. Other locations would require transportation (such as a ride from a friend) back to Wateridge as they are not generally within walking distance.

On-Street Parking Permits

Wateridge is not located in an area where residential, guest or visitor parking permits are available as all properties in Wateridge were built with off-street parking. The city does not make any consideration for multiple vehicles in a household or more than the allocated ratio of parking space to units in an apartment building.

There are a couple types of on street parking permits that may be useful to Wateridge residents in the case of health care worker visits or construction activities which cause the loss of your off street parking.

• Temporary consideration parking permit (for situations like driveway blocking construction): https://ottawa.ca/en/business/permits-and-licences/parking-permits-business/temporary-consideration-parking-permit#section-1e717639-52d1-4752-b767-bea0ac1057ea
• Health Care parking permit (for situations like longer home care visits): https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/creating-equal-inclusive-and-diverse-city/accessibility-city/transportation/parking-permits/health-care-parking-permit#section-0d927371-42a4-4308-b6e6-de5eb3e2b885
