Public Parking & Residential Decals

Public Parking Restrictions

Parking is not permitted on side streets near Buntzen Lake along Sunnyside Road. Parking is also not permitted on any boulevard or pathway/walkway within Anmore at any time during the year. As well, Anmore’s zoning and business licence bylaws do not permit the use of private land to sell parking. This type of parking impedes emergency response, blocks driveways, causes a nuisance for area residents and poses other safety concerns as the properties do not have properly prepared parking surfaces.

During the high traffic months in the summer, Anmore will have the following measures in place on weekends:

  • Additional bylaw enforcement to deal with illegal parking
  • Towing patrols
  • Sign boards at both Village entrance points to communicate when the lake is at capacity

To provide Anmore residents with dedicated parking areas in the community and options for additional public parking for events or other temporary circumstances, the Village of Anmore has two programs: Resident Vehicle Decals and Temporary Parking Permits.

To report illegal parking, email the Bylaw Enforcement Officer, Joe Nicholas.

Anmore Resident Vehicle Decals

Anmore is issuing Resident Vehicle Decals to allow residents to park in designated residential parking areas. Please place decal on the front windshield of vehicle for easy visibility.

Designated residential parking will be noted with parking signs and are assigned to the following areas:

  • Half of available parking on Elementary Road
  • Parking spaces on Sunnyside Road between Alder and Ludlow

The vehicle decals will also identify Anmore residents so that they continue to have full access to Anmore roads when traffic management crews are directing vehicles away from congested areas.

To apply for Resident Vehicle Decals:

  • Email decal requests to village.hall@anmore.com
  • Include the following information in the email:
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Anmore street address
    • Vehicle make
    • Vehicle model
    • Vehicle licence number

The Village will issue a decal for each vehicle registered to an Anmore household.

Please note: This is not a parking pass for all street parking and it is only for the designated residential parking areas in Anmore.
