With beach season here, the City of Port Colborne would like to remind residents and visitors parking restrictions will be in effect along Lake Erie’s shoreline.

Last year proved to be a busy beach season for Port Colborne and in anticipation of increased traffic over the summer months, the City has made operational changes to prohibit parking on several roads leading to Lake Erie shoreline. This is to ensure the proper movement of traffic and safety of the public.

“We want to encourage residents and visitors to enjoy our beaches this summer,” said Mayor Bill Steele. “However, safety will always be a top priority. Beaches like Nickel and Centennial-Cedar Bay have proper City amenities and allocated parking spaces for visitors to use. To avoid overcrowding at road allowances and ensure public safety, parking restrictions will be enforced by By-law Services.”

Below is a complete list of all roads and Firelanes where parking will be prohibited. Please note parking on private Firelanes is also prohibited. By-law officers will enforce violations daily and issue tickets accordingly.
