Parking plays a crucial role in our everyday lives. With the ongoing Grand Trunk Redevelopment, the parking demand placed on the downtown parking system will evolve and change. It becomes essential to understand how the downtown parking system will function and adapt.
The City has initiated a strategic parking study to identify existing and future parking needs of the Downtown area, retaining R.J. Burnside & Associates to lead the study.
These upcoming challenges and opportunities will allow the City to develop a comprehensive and forward-thinking parking strategy that optimizes parking resources and respond as the Grand Trunk Redevelopment progresses.
The study area is illustrated below.
