Join us for a public open house on Dec. 3 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the Fireplace Room at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre to review preliminary recommendations and speak with the project team.
The City of Belleville Transportation Master Plan, completed in April 2014, recommended the preparation of a Comprehensive Parking Study. Much has changed since 2014, and emerging trends and new technologies highlight the need for this study to allow the City to plan for current and future long-term needs.
The City has hired Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited to conduct the study. The Paradigm team started data collection work in February, and it involved survey staff collecting data on the number of vehicles parked downtown.
This study will address the key issue of how the community wishes to manage its valuable parking assets moving forward, which can be articulated through questions such as:
- Is there enough parking in the downtown to address peak demands?
- Are there different ways to manage parking demand and/or supply to avoid or defer the need for costly construction of new municipal lots?
- Are there innovative ways to improve the parking experience for visitors, customers, and employees in the downtown area?
- With all the changes influencing travel behaviour today, what does the future of parking look like, and how do we prepare for it?
The City collected information in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. All comments except for personal information will become part of the public record.
