Parking Management Plan
March 2021 - Phase 2 engagement has concluded. Feedback collected from the surveys and stakeholders is currently being analyzed to form recommendations. Further public input will be collected during Phase 4 which will occur later this spring.
Understanding the existing state of parking in the City and establishing what constitutes a parking issue/problem are vital components to realizing Kamloops' transportation vision. The City of Kamloops is seeking public input to better understand parking-related questions and concerns and inform a Parking Management Plan that will address the on and off-street parking challenges in the Downtown and the Tranquille Business Corridor. Bunt & Associates Engineering Ltd., together with Allnorth, was retained to collect quality data in the three study areas and develop a comprehensive and effective Parking Management Plan. Due to COVID-19, the study area of the TCC has been suspended and will be considered for evaluation once activities at this facility and at TRU return to normal and allow for accurate data collection.
Information collected through recent City studies such as the Downtown Transportation Choices Strategy, Transportation Master Plan, and Downtown Plan are being used to form the initial baseline for this plan.
The Plan will address parking related questions/concerns of stakeholders and the public while proactively connecting the full cost of parking with environmental impacts, including strategies to support growth and development that are sensitive to the social well-being and long-term vision of the City.
The City and the consulting team will be engaging with stakeholders and the public throughout the project to ensure the plan fully responds to and represents the vision and voice of our community
Engagement Opportunities - Phase 2 Concluded:
- The opportunity to contribute to the surveys for the Downtown and North Shore study areas has concluded. Contributions will help shape recommendations to be brought back to the public in Phase 4 later this spring.
- Recordings of the virtual information sessions held on March 11 and 12 can be found to the right under Video Recordings.
