No tickets...just parking conversations and answers to your questions!

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al‑Adha and gathering with family, friends and neighbours.

This morning, many Calgarians will attend Eid al-Adha prayers at mosques across the city. Streets near these locations may be busier, with limited parking available.

If you are driving, please give yourself extra time, be patient with others and follow these tips to help keep everyone moving safely:

✅ Follow all parking signs
🚫 Do not park in business lots or on private property
🌱 Do not park on boulevards
🚗 Do not double park or block driveways
🚒 Park 5 metres (car length) away from fire hydrants

Our Parking Safety & Compliance officers will be out supporting safe access around places of worship and nearby residential streets so everyone can focus on their celebrations and get home safely.

SWEEPING: Today from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Regal Terrace, Coventry Hills (SW), Temple Centre, Scenic Acres (N), Dalhousie (NE), Chaparral (E), Erin Woods, North Willow Park and Signal Hill (E).

Calgary Marathon parking safety updates and road closures

🚸 Don’t be a parking bully: blocking a driveway near a school might feel like a quick stop, but it can quickly disrupt someone else’s day.

Imagine a neighbour ready to head out—for work, an appointment or school pick up—only to find their driveway blocked and the street already busy with families and kids; a small choice can create real stress and safety concerns, so please leave driveways clear.

Blocking a driveway near a school isn't just unsafe and rude, it's parking like a bully.

During school pick-up and drop-off times, our School Patrol teams travel to schools across the city and talk with drivers, explain the rules and enforce them when needed.
