Parking in Waterloo Region

[tomh009]

The City of Kitchener already has a system to declare "snow events" and inform residents that parking will not be permitted for the following 24 hours. We could easily do the same year-round, by either sending out an e-mail or just saying (for instance) "when Environment Canada predicts x centimeters of snow over the next 24 hours, parking is prohibited overnight."

In practical terms, if we allow unlimited overnight parking except for "snow events", where would those people be able to put their cars during "snow events"?  And that's still assuming people get the message, are in town, and don't forget to move their cars.

Unlimited street parking isn't without its issues, either.
