Staff ask Council to approve the scope of work for Guelph's first comprehensive review of on-street and off-street parking across the whole city, before a request for proposals goes out in spring 2026. The study would recommend updates to rules and by-laws, consider a city-wide residential parking permit program and permissive winter parking, and propose a financial model covering downtown and city-wide parking operations.
