Strong Towns Nanaimo Applauds City Council’s Bold Move Towards Eliminating Parking Minimums Downtown
Strong Towns Nanaimo is celebrating City Council’s landmark decision on parking mandates in the downtown core. In a decisive vote, Mayor and Council voted 8-1 to begin the process of eliminating off-street minimum parking requirements for all uses in the Downtown Primary Urban Centre. Staff have been instructed to begin drafting changes to the Parking Bylaw in order to make this a reality. Council will likely have a vote in January according to normal rules for amending bylaws.
