How Should Winnipeg Manage Parking and Curbside Space?

Official title: Winnipeg Parking \u0026 Mobility Strategy

Closed Community Planning Housing & Communities Transportation
Winnipeg has adopted a five-year plan for managing parking, curbside space, and mobility services like taxis and ridesharing. The strategy aims to balance competing uses of street space, promote sustainable transportation, and improve parking services. Council approved the plan in November 2025 after public engagement that ran from 2019-2021.

Why This Matters

Drive in Winnipeg? This affects where you park and how much it costs. The city is rethinking how street space gets divided between parking, bike lanes, patios, and delivery zones. Business owners and commuters alike will feel the changes over the next five years.

What Could Change

The strategy is now the official five-year plan for the Winnipeg Parking Authority. Implementation will include changes to how curbside space is allocated, potentially expanding paid parking areas, and new rules for ridesharing and carsharing services. Several actions will require further community input before final decisions.

Key Issues

  • How should curbside space be balanced between parking, transit, cycling, and other uses?
  • Should paid parking areas be expanded?
  • How should mobility services like taxis and ridesharing be managed?
