The City of London is removing one of the stresses of going out for New Year's Eve.
For one night only, motorists will be able to park in municipal lots for free between midnight and 1pm New Year's Day.
This is the third year the city has offered the initiative which encourages those who have consumed alcoholic drinks to leave their vehicle without the risk of being ticketed or towed.
Only municipal lots, marked with a green "P", are covered under the exemption. The initiative does not apply to on-street parking or privately owned lots.
Throughout the downtown, Richmond Row and Old East there are 19 municipal lots of varying sizes with a combined total of 1,500 parking spaces available.
The free overnight parking applies to the following lots;
Lot 1 Dundas/Elizabeth/English St. – 434 Elizabeth St. Lot 2 Dundas/Elizabeth/Adelaide – 641 Queens Ave. Lot 3N Oxford West of Richmond – 743 Richmond St. Lot 3E Piccadilly/Oxford St. E. - 234 Piccadilly St. Lot 3W Piccadilly West of Richmond – 210 Piccadilly St. Lot 4 Adelaide/Marshall St. (Tolpuddle) 635 Marshall St. Lot 5 Queens Ave east of Richmond – 185 Queens Ave. Lot 6 Kent St. west of Richmond – 174 Kent St. Lot 7 Dundas/Rectory - 824 Dundas St. Lot 8 Budweiser Gardens - 99 Dundas St. Lot 11 King Street East of Thames – 331 Thames St. Lot 12 Ridout/Horton St. – 199 Ridout St.N Lot 15 Convention Centre – 300 York St. Lot 16 205 Oxford St. Lot 17 Thames St. – 331 Thames St. Lot 19 Museum London – 421 Ridout St. Lot 20 – 155 Kent St. Lot 21 – 558 Talbot St. Lot 22 – 695 Richmond St.
