BURLINGTON, ON

Perhaps the biggest irritant for residents of the city is parking space – that comes right behind traffic congestion.  Tax increases are in there somewhere.

The Burlington Downtown Parking Plan has now completed the second phase of the project. Read the Analysis of Future Parking Demand report which examines the relationship between existing land use patterns and current parking to forecast future demand levels, identify potential pressure on the parking supply due to planned development, and recommend corresponding management actions for municipal parking operations.

Key Findings
Baseline modelled demand calculations reinforce that the overall study area retains more than adequate parking capacity at all times of day. Findings anticipate an ability to accommodate future development that
generates both daytime and evening parking demand depending on its location relative to lightly utilized parking facilities.

The timeline: If you have concerns, make sure you tell the people doing the study before decisions are made.
