Parking Advisory Committee - Special re Parking Rates

THAT the agenda for the special Parking Advisory Committee meeting held on March 30, 2023 be approved as distributed.

THAT, further to the draft Report DSE-23-17 dated February 28, 2023 from the Development Services and Engineering Department regarding Downtown Parking Rates, the Parking Advisory Committee provides the following comments: 230330 – PAC Minutes Page 1 of 2 Page 1 of 2 • Generally, the members agree with the concept of demand-based parking. • The off-street lots and on-street spaces have been appropriately labelled with respect to demand-based parking. • Different pricing in different areas will be confusing for users; a communications plan will be essential. • The off-street lot demand categories should be reduced to two categories for greater simplification; high demand or low demand.

THAT, further to the draft Report DSE-23-17 dated February 28, 2023 from the Development Services and Engineering Department regarding Downtown Parking Rates, the Parking Advisory Committee recommends that, to ensure that parking revenues be reserved to pay for parking expenses and expansion, all net increases to revenues be allocated to the Parking Reserve Fund and not be used to reduce the tax levy.

THAT the memo dated March 3, 2023 from the Development Services Department regarding the Waterfront Parking Shuttle Pilot Program be received as information.

THAT the meeting be adjourned.
