We are pleased to announce that Collingwood Council has approved a temporary free parking initiative to support our downtown businesses during the Sixth Street Reconstruction Project while the required work is completed on Hurontario Street between Hume Street and Sixth Street.
Effective immediately, we are offering free three-hour parking on Hurontario Street until June 30, 2026. This measure is designed to make it easier for residents and visitors to access our downtown core during construction. Paid parking is still in effect in municipal lots and on side streets with parking meters.
We recognize that infrastructure projects can create temporary challenges, and we are committed to helping our local businesses continue to thrive during this period. By providing convenient, no-cost parking, we aim to encourage everyone to continue enjoying all that downtown Collingwood has to offer.
We invite you to:
- Shop local at our unique downtown retailers
- Dine downtown at your favourite restaurants
- Visit local businesses and services
- Experience our vibrant, walkable downtown
The Sixth Street Reconstruction Project represents an important investment in our community’s future, strengthening the infrastructure that supports our growing town. At the same time, we remain focused on minimizing impacts to businesses and ensuring our downtown remains accessible and welcoming.
We thank our businesses, residents, and visitors for your continued patience and support as we carry out this important work.
