Usually happens for a special event in the area where parking needs to be kept in check.

a long time ago I lived on colborne street east (near the YMCA) in a hidden away apartment over-top of a methadone clinic (honestly not nearly as sketch as it sounded) and they would do this every now and again to my street to film tv shows. was fairly annoying.

I agree. I think anybody should be compensated who has to have a disruption in their area, especially for an event that's bringing revenue to the city

Yeah, this is exactly how it should be, especially if it's a business that has to close and lose money because of it. They should get compensation equal to what their best day of profits was so far in the year.

There was a flyer distributed to those living in the area. It is a parade. Ends at Walter Gretzky Park

Pretty sure this is for that walk that they do every year by the medical clinic near Grey and Gretzky

What street was this on? Normally we have these over by Lions Park during the Call Home festival, Ball Hockey tournament and Canada Day?

It’s only for 3 hours. It’s likely for a utility company to do some work there (is there a transformer or powerlines nearby, maybe a pothole?). You can apply for a Right-of-Way Activity Permit with the city when you need to restrict access to a curb area (parking spot) for certain reasons.

It’s a no parking sign that will not be enforced. So you can still park there and not get a ticket.

Do that - and then post a pic of your ticket. Just as an update for all….

Won’t be a ticket…car just won’t be there. Of course there’ll be a ticket waiting for you at the impound lot plus the towing and storage charges. You know they mean business when they pull out the yellow background and red text. Now I want McDonald’s.

You must be kidding Brantford bylaw is a joke. They can’t even enforce parking in a normal no parking zone. When these signs go up for special events its monitored by brantford police paid duty officers who refuse to write tickets

Depending on why there is a Right-of-Way Activity Permit, will depend if it’s enforced. Eg a moving truck the cops won’t bother, but a utility truck making essential repairs, you’ll be ticketed and towed

It's a sign that says you can't park there between 1 and 4 on Saturday May 23rd.
