This is a terrible situation that needs addressing. The musicians don’t park in these spots for the night, just to unload. Perhaps the people who give out the tickets should give a little grace time.

Unloading spaces exist. It's very reasonable to have them. The city is always all about getting our money. How about ticket the cars parking in the bike lane or something more useful instead.

Great idea. Our Ottawa musicians (and drummers) should have a safe space to park and load in their equipment, especially in the downtown area.

This is ridiculous! Fines for unloading are dumb. If UPS and Aamzon can do it, musicians should be able to as well.
Please consider this!

The Nightlife and Tourism industry has shown itself to be important to The City of Ottawa. Why else would we hire a "Night Mayor"? Let see some better conditions for our Nightlife Entertainment Workers!

Let's support our Working musicians and the people that entertain us. They don't masker off like bandits, pay is low so the least we can do is make it painless to unload/ load gear. It's not too much to ask. Support working good neighbours svp

Why not allow for musician loading. You allow for all other venues, food, clothing, furniture, moving etc.

While I don’t play downtown too often I can completely understand the frustration and can totally get behind this petition!

Anyone unloading equipment for a gig should not have to pay these fines. These musicians work so hard they deserve a pass when it comes to this.

Simple way for the city to help promote and support the arts.
Have a heart city of Ottawa!
