Metered parking enforcement resumes in the City of Regina on Monday.
Required payments and complying with time restrictions is being reinstated as the transitions into reopening.
Parking enforcement was suspended in mid-March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
On June 29, parking enforcement will resume in timed zones, and for oversized vehicles and loading zones.
As residents continue to work from home, the city says the 24-hour overpark regulation that directs vehicles to move within a 24-hour period in residential areas will remain on hold.
Drivers can make contactless payments at parking meters by downlading the PayByPhone app.
“Parking regulations and enforcement contribute to public safety, ensure that parking is available for Regina residents and visitors and create a flow of traffic and patrons to businesses in our community,” said the City of Regina in a statement.
