Calgary won’t change how long RVs can be parked on front driveways, for now

Calgarians won't see any changes to the rules for parking RVs on residential driveways any time soon.
Calgarians won't see any changes to the rules for parking RVs on residential driveways any time soon.
Under the current bylaw, recreational vehicles cannot exceed more than 36 consecutive hours parked on a front hard-surface driveway or parking stall.
The time is meant to allow owners to do things like clean, load and unload their vehicles.
However, as Calgary sees an increase in RV ownership, city officials have identified that that 36-hour parking time limit can be "challenging and restrictive."
As such, in June 2022, Calgary city council asked administration to review the existing regulations, including the definition of "RV," and report back.
The report compiled by administration, which included feedback from Calgarians, was heard by council on Wednesday.
It proposed amendments to the bylaw that would allow Calgarians to park RVs on residential front driveways from May 1 to Oct. 31, and allow out-of-city RVs to be parked on city streets for up to 36 hours.
