Edmonton city council is reviewing four potential enforcement models aimed at improving compliance with parking bans during snow clearing and spring street sweeping.

The options range from maintaining current staffing levels to expanding enforcement through external contractors.

The report was prepared in response to a February motion directing administration to analyze fine structures, examine strategies for high-priority locations.

Officials say shifting enforcement strategies year to year has made it difficult to evaluate what works.

Multi-year approach is needed to collect data and adapt policies based on performance.

Council voted to implement option 2 , which adds towing services to the current enforcement model.

Administration is expected to return during the fall supplemental budget process with a proposal for ongoing funding.
