Starting February 1st, 2017, Parking Enforcement will begin issuing tickets to all vehicles that are parked on a front and/or side yard, and they will continue to issue tickets to those parked on City of Windsor boulevards.

The city says that the definition of a front yard in the by-law is as follows: a yard extending across the width of a lot between the front lot line and the nearest wall of a main building on such lot in a residential district except on a driveway or as authorized by statute, regulation, by-law, or otherwise by the corporation.

Front Yard Definition:

• A front yard is defined as “a yard extending across the full width of a lot between the front lot line and the nearest wall of a main building on such lot.”

Side Yard Definition:

• The City defines the boulevard as “all parts of the highway save and except any roadway, shoulder, driveway or sidewalk,” which means a portion of every road allowance within the limits that is not used as a sidewalk, driveway, travelled roadway or shoulder.

Tickets for vehicles deemed to be in violation of this section of the by-law will cost owners $25.
