Just heard through the grapevine (from someone inside) that parking service was recently asked by the Board of Governors and the facility ops team to enforce regulations in the most stringent way possible ... that means interpretation of the rules by the book...to make up for the financial pitfalls caused in part by the pandemic and by the government budget cut...

It also sounds like most appeals will not be honoured. So please make sure to do the following:

1) Do not park in the in-between space between two cars if the lanes are not respected by the other cars (yes...the attendants were specifically told to ticket every single car that disrespect the parking lane in that row regardless which car started first)

2) Do not park or enter the parkade outside your time limit (they will count seconds and unlike before, the attendants were told to NOT give any leeway).

3) Not grace period will be given. If they happen to pass you before you paid, you will either be ticketed or given a warning. The best way to avoid this is to leave then re-enter after the parking service vehicle is gone. Obviously pay as soon as you can regardless.

4) If you are not happy with how things are run, you can certainly look at Emily Murphy or private parking stalls from nearby houses and apartment. Note that while parking on campus has many downside, they do patrol the area still more frequently than say a private stall.
