## Resource

Edmonton’s cracking down on unpermitted downtown parking lots—starting July 1—with fines, shutdowns, and legal action for non-compliant owners. After a report revealed widespread violations, the city offered a voluntary compliance window ending June 30, but only 66 applications were submitted in 18 months, with just 18 approved. Post-deadline, owners face escalating penalties, site access blocks, and potential court summons. Some have already sold their lots, paving the way for parks and new development.
