Prince George residents are invited to attend the Parking Modernization Study open house next week.
On Wednesday, from 4 to 7 p.m., people can head to the House of Ancestors to learn about the feedback gathered through the parking survey, read the draft recommendations, and ask questions.
The preliminary recommendations were developed using resident feedback, identifying the current demand for parking in the downtown and hospital zones, and predicting future parking needs based on growth projections and mobility trends.
The public survey, which was hosted on the City website in April, received nearly 1,500 responses.
Feedback from participants included comments on a lack of available parking, on-street time limits and enforcement, safety concerns, confusing payment systems, limited number of accessible parking spaces and the parking cost.
“We received great feedback from residents, business owners, and partner organizations over the past several months and we look forward to sharing the draft recommendations with the public. Proposed strategies aim to make City-owned parking options safer, more accessible, and easier to understand,” said LEA transportation planning manager, Robert Keel.
“Suggested activities include improving parking signage, increasing safety and security measures, making the permit system more flexible, and improving accessible parking design.”
