The City of Vancouver is warning motorists to expect more parking enforcement officers on the street, as traffic increases amid the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
The city temporarily suspended parking enforcement early in the pandemic, but brought officers back on April 30.
The city says competition or curb space has increased since then, as have general traffic levels.
“Additionally, as more people are returning to work and accessing businesses, all transit priority lanes need to remain clear when in effect to ensure safe and efficient bus operations,” said the city in a media release.
