FUN FACT: The Kitchener by-law is the same as Waterloo (Year Round), but the agreement was that it would only be enforced in the winter, but ZERO exemptions. [Snow clearing was the main reason for the reason for enforcement, as street sweeping wasn't typically done overnight outside of the core]. Coke

That sign must be a localized exception. It doesn't normally need to be signposted as it's citywide policy.

That sign is a forgery perhaps? The lettering is never of that style on any No Parking signs. But that's just what you'd do if you wanted to have 9 months of free parking.

LOL! No. There are 5 more the same.

The "r" and the "a" are of a stencil type. I don't know if signs used to be made by this design, but current signs do not have the rounded style of the "r" nor the cutout white slit at the top of the "a" because we can print without that kind of outline. There may be 5, but it is not a modern sign, it is either very old or part of a series of forgeries.
Okay. I'm gonnna guess it's the former.

Those same signs are in use for the "hospital parking" along Mount Hope Street between King and Park.

As for those signs, I'm going to assume they are an old stock (based on the way the sign has been beaten up over the years) Coke

What is "boulevard parking"? That sounds so fancy.

I think the reason why is that lot sizes were made smaller, reducing the amount of parking available, and residents pushed council to do something about it. It begs the question of why you would buy the house in the first place if it didn't have enough parking to meet your needs.

There was a fun example a few years back where in Cambridge, a family came before council because they had acquired 5 or 6 cars, did not want to put them in their garage, but objected to being ticketed for always having 3-4 cars out on city streets.

I think that using the garage of your suburban home to store your car(s) is just a quaint memory. Especially in newer developments, the purpose of garages is very clearly to store "stuff". For some reason, people seem strangely attached to large volumes of "stuff" that they don't actually use.
