What time in the morning is parking free until, in downtown Calgary?

Question

Can't find the answer anywhere - not sure if it's 8 or 9 am. Many thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Payment is payable from 0900-1800 Mon-Sat. Only street parking is ever free. The signs posted above will tell you. Be aware of no stopping times during rush hours.

Note that all of downtown is now on the Park Plus system. Remember your zone and licence plate number. When you get to a machine go through the regular payment process. These machines will reject payment if parking is free at the time.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure it's 9 but some main streets (especially downtown) have no stopping in the curb lanes during the rush hour. So on those streets, you could only park until 6am or you'd get towed.
