Parking Monitoring Project
The City of Spruce Grove is installing parking monitoring technology in the City Centre area.
This work began as a pilot project in August 2021 when 20 parking monitoring devices were installed along First Avenue parking spaces between Calahoo Road and Queen Street.
Since then, the project has expanded and additional parking monitoring devices have been installed in the area.
The parking monitoring technology uses sensors to record the presence/duration of a vehicle in parking space. No personal information is captured about the vehicle (e.g., make, model, licence plate number) and no photos or video are recorded; the devices are strictly for data purposes.
Frequently asked questions
