In the spirit of Tom Champion ...

If you live in Ward Seven, or if you have a Zone 1 parking permit (which, I guess may apply to people in other wards) don't forget to put your new resident parking sticker on your car.

On my drive this morning, I saw DOZENS of bright orange pieces of paper staring back at me on cars with the old sticker. The city is not giving any leniency in this matter, near as I can tell.

Yes, but there are other types of plates that end with letters. I've seen many plates with red letters/numbers that are something like 1234 AB.

Like mine - new plate, but ends in letters.

1234 AB would expire in April.

I found this on the Registry's website, so it looks like you are right (except my plate does not seem to follow the rule. My plate renews in August, but the last digit is 7.)

In 1968, the introduction of the staggered registration instituted a plate that expired every two years with the expiration month determined by the last numeric digit on the registration. Thus, a plate that ended with a "1" expired in January, a plate that ended with a "2" expired in February, etc. Color coded plate decals with expiration years printed on them stemmed from the advent of the staggered system and are still used today.
