Item 3.a · Discussion Items

Parking Study

Decision pending

Proposed (agenda)

Town staff are asking Council for feedback on the goals and scope of a parking study, paid for with federal Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) money, before hiring someone to do it. The study would look at parking supply, use and future needs across town to guide future Land Use Bylaw rules, but would not cover the paid parking program, boat and trailer parking, peak summer congestion fixes, or designing new parking lots.
