The City of Moose Jaw advises residents that northbound parking and lane changes on First Avenue Northwest will go into effect on Monday, Sept. 18.
The project, which city council approved as part of the 2023 Budget, will see parking stalls added to the east side of First Avenue Northwest between Manitoba Street and Oxford Street.
Each block will have a dedicated parking zone number, while drivers can either download and use the city’s HotSpot app to pay for parking or scan the QR code and pay online without the app.
No meters will be installed, but parking lines will be painted.
Motorists are reminded that this change will officially leave First Avenue Northwest with a single lane of traffic in each direction (north and south), a shared left-turn lane and parking stalls on the outside lanes.
Additionally, at the intersections of Caribou Street, Athabasca Street, Fairford Street, and High Street, the designated right-turn lane will again be available for use with new overhead signage installed on the signalized light poles.
Crews have begun installing the new parking stalls and traffic signage while the new stalls will become available for payment in the Hotspot parking app on Sept. 18.
The City of Moose Jaw asks motorists to exercise caution and slow down in work zones for everyone’s safety.
