Calgary parking fines should be higher, city committee says
Higher parking fines are a step closer in Calgary, after a city council committee approved increases to bring city parking fines in line with provincial legislation.
The increased fines would apply to common offences, like parking too close to a hydrant
You might want to think twice before parking in front of that fire hydrant. A Calgary city council committee has approved increases for parking fines.
The hikes would apply to a range of the most common offences — things like parking in a crosswalk or too close to a fire hydrant.
The increases would bring city parking fines in line with with provincial legislation. If approved, the new fines will increase from $36 to $40 — if you pay your ticket within 10 days of the offence. City council will discuss the changes next month.
