- Report PLAN2018-046 Parking Requirements - Re-development of 171-183 Kent St. West
Parking Related Issues Summary For Discussion/Feedback From The Working Groups
- General Demand: What is the current & future demand for parking? Part of this would be addressed in the current Downtown Parking Strategy being undertaken, but there are issues/concerns in other communities outside the study area that might need to be considered from an Economic Development context.
- Unique Demands: This would include parking demands including fully accessible, seasonal, motorcoach, horse & buggy, ATV/snowmobile, bikes, as well as electric vehicle (EV) parking/charging stations.
- Costs: What is the real cost of parking both for initial construction (including land)/periodic capital repairs & replacement, as well as the on-going maintenance expense.
- Cost Recovery: Will parking costs be recovered through user fees, area charges, development charges (including cash-in-lieu), general revenues.
- Accounting: How has and how will cash-in-lieu funds (and other funds specific to parking) be accounted for to see them utilized to address parking requirements.
- Signage: Both in terms of standard general signage for parking areas, and potential uses of electronic signs on a temporary basis for special events and permanent basis (where practical) to improve utilization rates and user experience.
