On February 13, 2008, Council passed the following motion:
“That staff be directed to develop a new city-wide, comprehensive, consolidated parking policy in conjunction with the principles articulated in the Parking Management Strategy and the Transportation Master Plan; and that the policy include parking needs in the zoning by-law, a review of the financial costs to the City of storing cars on city streets versus storing cars on private lots; and
That the study examines on-street parking rates:
· That vary according to geography
· That vary according to time (time of day, day of the week) and
That the terms of reference for this study/review be brought to Transportation Committee for its review and approval prior to being undertaken.”
