Parking is available throughout Meaford in municipal lots and along some streets. Some parking restrictions may apply.
Overnight Winter Parking (November 15 to April 1) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Overnight Parking Restrictions take effect beginning November 15, 2024, and remain in place until April 1, 2025. Overnight Parking Restrictions are enforced to ensure that municipal roads and lots are maintained throughout the winter to provide safe travel. While Overnight Parking Restrictions are in place, no person shall allow their vehicle to be parked, placed, or left standing on any street, or in any municipal parking lot between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
The Market Square Parking Lot located at 12 Nelson Street East permits overnight parking at no cost. This parking lot has two specific rows dedicated for overnight parking, divided as odd and even rows, which correspond to the calendar day. Prior to parking your vehicle, you need to consider if your vehicle will still be parked in that spot when the plow will be clearing the lot the next day between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Then figure out what day it is and park your vehicle in either the odd or even row based on the date and time when the lot will be plowed. For example, if today is the 15th and you won't be moving your vehicle until the morning, you should park it in the even row to allow the plow to clear the lot between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on the 16th.
This change will help with proper snow removal and abandoned vehicles. Please take the time to read the sign in the lot and park your car in the right row to avoid receiving a parking ticket and/or having your vehicle towed. |

* The Market Square Parking Lot is the only designated overnight parking lot during the winter months (from Nov. 15 – April 1). Two rows have been assigned to allow vehicles to park overnight in this lot location. The rows have been designated as Odd and Even as to the calendar day. Vehicles must be parked in the Odd or Even row based on the calendar day that a plow may be clearing the parking lot (from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. in the morning) not the date and time you park your vehicle. For example: if the date is the 15th and you are not moving your vehicle till the next following day, you should park in the Even row because the plow may need to clear the lot at 4 a.m. on 16th. This change will help with proper snow removal and abandoned vehicles. Please take the time to read the sign in the lot and park your car in the right row to avoid receiving a parking ticket and/or having your vehicle towed.
