You won’t have to hit up your parking app or drop change in the kiosk to park at night in Halifax.

City council has scrapped plans to make shoppers pay for parking after 6 p.m. on weeknights.

However, they voted to start charging on Saturday’s.

It was a razor thin vote of 9-8 to make the change on Wednesday.

Businesses raised concerns over the proposal over fears it would push people away.

The city estimated the move would bring in $800,000 in revenue.
