Street parking on Bank Street and side streets
The Ottawa Farmers’ Market says: “Additional parking along Bank Street and side streets is also available on Sundays free of charge.” The market runs on Sundays.
The City of Ottawa lists these general on-street rules: parking is prohibited in excess of three hours, Monday to Friday, between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, and for more than six hours on weekends and statutory holidays between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. Parking is also prohibited within 9 metres of an intersection and within 3 metres of a fire hydrant. The City’s page does not list on-street rates or paid hours, and does not mention Lansdowne.
On-street payment: the City lists Pay and Display machines that accept coins or credit cards (VISA, Mastercard or American Express), and PayByPhone, which charges regular parking fees plus a 30 cent service fee per transaction.
Residential permit streets
The City’s permit parking regulations say permit holders may park longer than posted on streets with a “Permit Holders Exempted” sign. When temporary “No Parking” signs are posted, permit holders must move their vehicles. The City’s residential permit page says a residential permit lets eligible residents park on assigned streets for up to 48 hours, and that permit holders still pay on-street fees in Pay and Display zones. The City’s pages do not mention Lansdowne events or the Glebe.
