Piloting New Ways to Park in EG

East Gwillimbury (EG)’s By-law Enforcement Services team is launching a one-year parking pilot program beginning May 1, 2026, to address parking in EG and provide residents and visitors with safe, accessible, and flexible parking options. Details on the Pilot Program were presented at the March 10, 2026, Committee of the Whole meeting. View the report and presentation. 

As the community grows, we’re seeing an increase in parking complaints, higher By-law enforcement activity and a rise in parking permit requests. The pilot program will allow the Town to test new parking strategies, monitor results, collect resident feedback and make adjustments (if needed) before recommending permanent changes to Council.

What strategies are included in the Pilot Program?

Odd/even on-street parking schedule on select streets in EG

Five streets in EG will move to an odd/even parking schedule, and the current three-hour parking limit will be removed. The 2 to 6 a.m. parking restriction remains in place unless an on-street overnight parking permit is submitted. Parking permits are not valid during snow events or winter maintenance operations.

How it works:  

  • On odd-numbered dates, you can park on the side of the street with odd-numbered addresses. On even-numbered dates, you can park on the side of the street with even-numbered addresses. Residents/visitors need to move their vehicles by midnight when the date changes.

We want to hear from you

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand the questions below for additional details regarding the pilot program:

 What is EG’s Parking Pilot Program? 
EG’s Parking Pilot Program will test four new flexible parking options for residents and visitors to better respond to parking needs, improve emergency access, and support efficient enforcement. The pilot allows the Town to test potential changes before considering permanent options in EG.
 Why is the pilot one year?  
The one-year pilot program provides a controlled way to test solutions (over various seasons) and collect data and community feedback. Population growth, higher-density neighbourhoods, increased vehicle ownership, limited driveway space, and rising complaints show that current parking tools are no longer meeting community needs.  
 Will the three-hour parking limit be removed everywhere? 
No, the three-hour parking limit will remain on all Town-roads, except those selected as pilot streets (Frank Kelly Drive, Four Seasons Crescent, Mondial Crescent, Beechborough Crescent, Hammill Heights) 
where odd/even on-street parking will be in effect. Signs will be installed notifying people of this change.  
 How are abandoned or long-term parked vehicles handled? 
Vehicles may not remain parked in the same location for more than 24 hours, which helps to prevent vehicle abandonment. Overnight parking between 2 and 6 a.m. requires a valid Overnight Parking Permit.. Vehicles that are parked for more than 24 hours, may be subject to enforcement action.
 How will success be measured? 
The Town will track resident feedback, parking usage, compliance, complaints, enforcement activity, and impacts to safety and access. 
Where can residents provide feedback? 
Residents can provide feedback to the Town’s By-law Branch in-person at the Civic Centre during regular business hours or by email.
What happens after the pilot?
At the end of the pilot, staff will report results, feedback, and propose recommendations to Council. Decisions about adopting the parking strategies will follow. 
How were the pilot program locations selected?
Pilot locations were selected in collaboration with internal departments based on areas with high parking demand, operational or emergency access concerns, proximity to parks that can support parking, and locations with a history of parking-related complaints or observed issues.
When will the Town implement the odd/even parking schedule on other streets? 
Following the pilot, the Town will review data, operational impacts, and community feedback before making recommendations to Council. There is no set timeline, as any future expansion will be based on the results and overall effectiveness of the pilot program. 
How can I apply/purchase parking permits?
Permits can be purchased online or in person at Customer Service at the Civic Centre (19000 Leslie Street) or Sports Complex (1914B Mount Albert Road). Links to purchase permits online will be available on May 1.
How many permits can you apply for per vehicle?

Overnight Municipal Lot parking permits are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are not subject to a set limit. For on-street parking, each vehicle is eligible for up to 30 permits per year, consisting of 15 free permits and 15 paid permits.
What if I’ve used all of my on-street parking free and paid parking permits? 
Once all 30 on-street parking permits (15 free and 15 paid) have been used, no additional permits will be issued for that vehicle. Alternative parking options, such as Overnight Municipal Lot parking (where available), may be considered. In extenuating circumstances, residents can email By-laws for inquiries.  
 Will there be enforcement throughout the program? 
Yes, enforcement will be in place throughout the program. The first two weeks will focus on an education campaign, where officers will issue warnings and provide information to help residents understand the new requirements before full enforcement continues.
Will the program run during the winter?

Yes, the program will run during the winter with these exceptions: 

  1. Overnight Municipal Lot permits for Radial Line and Vivian Creek Park are only available from April to November  

  2. On-Street parking and overnight parking permits are restricted during snow events or winter maintenance operations.

Who can I contact if I have questions? 

If you have questions regarding this program, please contact By-law Enforcement Services by email or call 905-478-4282.
