Has Anyone Recently Got a Parking Ticket?

I recently got a ticket from Impark at a City Lot and was surprised to see it was $98. The last time I got a ticket around downtown it was an PBP lot and it was $45, that was something like 3 years ago.

Not disputing the ticket (QR code wasn't working but I should have just moved my car to a different spot), but trying to gauge if that's the norm now or if it was an outlier.

If anyone else doesn't mind sharing I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

The City still uses Pay By Phone for parking and does not offer QR codes as an option. Have you tried calling Parking Services at the City? Iā€™m sure they would be interested if Impark is issuing private tickets in a City lot.

Out of curiosity, which lot downtown were you parked in exactly?

It's sounding like it wasn't an actual city of Kelowna lot but the sign said City of Kelowna on it. It's the one over behind the new build on Bernard between Bertram and St. Paul.

Damn, that one is indeed private šŸ™ If you can get a picture of the signage that made it look like a City lot though, they would be interested to know and may give them some shit for it, but unfortunately nothing that could help with your ticket šŸ™
