Residential parking permits can now be purchased for roughly the 102 Nutana residents impacted — $15 annually for residents and $5 to $25 for visitors.

Residents on these blocks would be eligible to purchase up to three residential parking permits and one visitor parking permit per dwelling unit.

Non-permit holders will see a two-hour parking time limit.

The potential revenue from the zone is estimated at $3,120 annually.

This is the sixth permit parking zone under the program.
