Parking proposals delayed as city looks for more input

THUNDER BAY -- A pair of proposed parking limits won't be in place anytime soon as the city looks to work out the details with those most impacted by the restrictions.

THUNDER BAY -- A pair of proposed parking limits won't be in place anytime soon as the city looks to work out the details with those most impacted by the restrictions.

The first proposal, to put a two-hour parking limit on Elgin Street near Ecole Catholique Franco-Superieur, was only heard Aug. 18 by the school board.

Finance director Yvon Bolduc said while there are resident complaints as parents of the 300 students plus 45 staff and 10 daycare staff are at the school. But the board has always worked with the neighbourhood in the past and as part of the community could work something out again without implementing a two-hour parking limit.

Another two-hour limit on Waverly Street was asked to at least be extended so that students at that nearby faculty of law could attend classes without having to move vehicles.

"Two hour will essentially deny that parking to the students at the faculty of law,”

Lakehead Law Students' Society vice-president of external affairs Joshua Stevenson said.

The proposals will head back to administration.
