Open house materials now available

12 December 2025

Thank you to everyone who attended the virtual open house last week. The presentation materials are now available, which outline the overall study findings. The recommendations include immediate, short-, and long-term actions to optimize downtown parking, improve financial efficiency, and support a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly core.

Key highlights from the presentation include:

  • Current parking supply exceeds demand, with on-street spaces near capacity and garages underused.
  • Future projections show continued surplus, enabling redevelopment opportunities.
  • Recommendations focus on introducing paid on-street parking, dynamic pricing, repurposing surface lots, expanding accessible, bicycle, and EV parking, and implementing real-time monitoring.
