Infringements appeals 

Parking infringements may be appealed on the basis of extenuating circumstances which may not be apparent at the time the infringement was issued. Parking infringement appeals may only be accepted from the driver of the vehicle at the time the infringement was issued. There are circumstances where the City will not withdraw a parking infringement. These include, but are not limited to, the following: 

  •  Appointment did not finish on time. 
  • A phone call was too important.
  • Meeting went longer than expected. 
  • Did not see the sign. 
  • Sign was confusing. 

Important note: appealing an infringement does not constitute a downgrading or removal of an infringement, rather, it provides a process of review of the infringement. The City carefully considers and reviews all infringement appeals and responds to the appellant with an outcome of the review.
