Pitt Meadows Secondary School has eliminated student and parent parking in its staff lot and is directing families to a drop-off loop at the east end of the school, as construction on a new $143 million building gets underway.
According to an August 28, 2026 notice from the school, on-site parking has been cut from more than 160 spaces to about 120 spaces because of the ongoing construction project. All remaining spaces must be reserved for staff, district personnel, contractors, and authorized visitors, so students and families can no longer park in the staff lot.
Families who drive their children to school are now asked to use the designated pull-through/drop-off loop at the east end. Parking is not permitted there, and the loop is for active loading and unloading only.
The school is warning that students and families should expect heavier traffic and longer delays along 116th Avenue and around the school during peak morning arrival and afternoon dismissal times. Drivers are encouraged to leave extra time for drop-offs and pick-ups.
The parking changes are linked to the replacement school project, which began construction in August 2026. The new school is expected to open in September 2029, with full construction finishing in June 2029. The provincial government has provided more than $143 million for the project, with the school district contributing $142,000. The new facility will create 1,100 student seats.
More details are available in the August 2026 Parking Notice posted by the school.
