Summary

Neighbourhood changes in Dovercourt Village have lead to an increase in visitors frequenting businesses in the area. The increased vehicular traffic has exacerbated existing parking challenges for local residents. Current parking rules in place are not adequate, and the community has reported increased conflicts related to this issue between visitors and residents in the area.

 

Transportation Services identified parking regulation changes that will amend the current parking prohibition in place to ensure visitors are parking at the appropriate locations. This change will help to improve the parking situation and provide access for residents that are visiting this growing neighbourhood.
