| What is the 2021 Ajax Waterfront Parking Plan?
To manage visitor parking along the Ajax waterfront, the Town is introducing a new weekend parking management plan. The plan includes designated areas for visitor paid parking, designated no parking, and designated local resident-only parking in three waterfront zones – Rotary Park, Central Waterfront, and Paradise Beach.
Why is this being implemented now?
The Ajax waterfront has become such a popular destination (once a passive unknown gem). One problem of this success year after year is the lack of safe, accessible parking. We are flooded with complaints every summer about the parking challenges - taking away resources from other parts of Town. Further, emergency vehicles have difficulty maneuvering in the area. Finally, we don’t want to pave over existing green space to accommodate more parking.
When does the plan come in to effect?
The plan is in effect every Saturday and Sunday and on public holidays from May 15 to September 15, 2021.
Who do I contact with questions regarding the waterfront parking plan and paid parking?
Please contact By-Law Services by phoning 905-619-2529, ext. 3370, faxing 905-683-1061 or emailing bylawservices@ajax.ca. Please include your name, address and phone number with your questions.
