Brian Timmerman, ex-dir Exchange District BIZ poses beside a parking pay station Tuesday. Where you park downtown can make a difference to your wallet. The Winnipeg Parking Authority has differentiated rates for on-street parking -- $1 per hour for most locations throughout the downtown and the Exchange District; $2 per hour for spots close to city hall, the theatre district, Law Courts complex, and the MTS Centre. It’s a deliberate strategy targeting the most popular locations where motorists were parking up to eight hours a day. SANTIN w/map showing the $2 per hour street; and a fact box.
