Parking plan progress
The Council’s draft
parking strategy has
attracted about 80
submissions, most from
individuals but also
from companies,
schools, Council Community
Boards and
groups representing
residents and roadusers. The policy was
open for public input until 22 November last year. About half the submitters talked about Central City
parking and traffic and many were in support of
promoting and using alternative modes of transport. The Council’s community boards and
Sustainable Transport and Utilities (STU)
Committee are considering the submissions and
how the policy might be changed to reflect them. It is expected that the STU Committee and the
full City Council will debate the changed strategy
in May and vote on its adoption. That STU
Committee meeting is on 6 May, while the full
Council meets on 22 May. |
