Brampton looking for input on parking plan to identify future needs of residents and businesses
Published January 5, 2022 at 2:38 pm
The city of Brampton needs feedback from residents for its first-ever citywide parking plan review.
As the city continues to grow, Brampton is reviewing its parking strategy to identify the future needs of residents and businesses, while also improving infrastructure planning.
“Parking requirements have an impact on affordable housing, development costs and land use planning,” the city said in a release.
Feedback on the parking plan from the community will help develop “complete, healthy, walkable communities” while ensuring the needs and safety of all road users are considered.
The parking plan will be developed in two parts.
Phase one will review links between parking issues and the city’s economic, social and environmental goals, while the second phase will review recommendations for a business and financial parking model.
