The City of Saskatoon has approved residential parking permit zones for the 700 block of Main Street, 700 block of 10th Street and 600 block of Dufferin Avenue.
Residents in the community petitioned for the program to manage parking congestion from hospitals, post-secondary educational facilities and commercial areas.
Residential parking permits can now be purchased for roughly the 102 Nutana residents impacted — $15 annually for residents and $5 to $25 for visitors.

Non-permit holders will see a two-hour parking time limit.
