Title
PRESENTATION CONCERNING A WATERFRONT PARKING PERMIT UPDATE
Brent Forsyth, Director of Transit and Parking Strategy provided a presentation concerning the Waterfront Parking Permit.
Mr. Forsyth discussed slides concerning the following topics:
• HotSpot and Digital Permitting benefits, including improved public access, reduced wait times, administrative efficiencies, and improved controls;
• Program parameters including quantity limits, costs, expiration and delegated authority;
• An update on the Friends and Family Parking Pass Pilot. The program expired September 15, 2021 and staff do not recommend the continuance due to low uptake; and
