• Side street on-street parking opportunities should be maintained adjacent to Broadway Street, and opportunities for additional on-street parking facilities, on nearby streets, should be explored. • Bumpouts should be considered to break the continuity of on-street parking areas, and to provide valuable space for street trees, street furnishings and street furnishings. • Ensure that pedestrians at courtesy or signalized crossings are easily seen by motorists. This can be accomplished by not permitting on-street parking adjacent to the crosswalk, or by establishing a bumpout at such locations. • It is recommended that the angled parking along the south side of Ridout Street, between Broadway and Harvey Streets, be converted to on-street parallel parking, and that the paved surface be reduced in
width to allow for wider, and continuous, sidewalks on either side of the street. Please refer to Appendix F: Summary of Transportation Analysis for more information. • A high-level parking analysis was undertaken as a component of this study. The analysis revealed that a higher proportion of on-street parking spaces were vacant, throughout the course of the day, east of Broadway Street, when compared to those west of Broadway Street. Due to these high vacancy rates, it is recommended that the parking structure for the Central Area be reviewed, and that consideration be given to the introduction of pay parking, weekly/ monthly pay permit parking, and to rescinding of the special levy by-law, which is allocated for parking lot reserve and maintenance. Please see Appendix F: Summary of Transportation Analysis for more information.
