Parking fees are going up in Yellowknife next month.
City council approved new meter rates in December. They’ll be applied to all parking meters in the city after May 1.
Rates are doubling for one- and two-hour meters, from $2.50 per hour to $5 per hour. Those machines will also no longer accept nickels.
For nine-hour meters, rates are going up by 50 per cent, from $1 per hour to $1.50 per hour.
Reserved parking meter fees are going up from $20 per day to $25 per day, for one- and two-hour meters, and from $10 to $15 per day for nine-hour meters.
The city says the new rates will apply to coin-operated meters as well as digital payments made through the city’s parking app.
For the first couple of weeks of May, residents might find meters displaying either the old or the new rates as bylaw officers work to reprogram the machines.
