Gig Parking needs to happen so people like myself and others can safely load expensive heavy stuff in to the venue we work.

This issue is very important to our industry. If a contractor doing renovations needed to load into a building, would they be treated the same way? Likely not. Would be great if venues get on board as well.

Ticketing us musicians at load in is a lazy and cruel way to generate revenue.

Austin Texas and Nashville Tennessee both have these parking/loading areas for their musicians. We are not leaving our cars in the parking spots, just loading and unloading heavy equipment to and from venues. Live music benefits our local economy and cultural value as a city.

Bylaw has driven by us on Rideau and York when unloading. We've definitely been lucky though. The night mayor needs to do something about this!

Fellow victim of getting a parking ticket while trying to unload heavy gear out of my car. This has also happened multiple times to me. The City of Ottawa's parking officers are unreasonable and expect us working musicians to work within illogical means. Let's put an end to this, please.

This seems to be a very reasonable request. Most people appreciate live music and it is a shame that the city is making it so difficult, and particularly unsafe, for Ottawa’s musicians. Hope your successfully fight your ticket.

Musicians in Ottawa need to be able to load instruments, equipment and gear into a venue without getting a ticket. Especially during the winter months where snow and ice create safety hazards.
