Complete a comprehensive parking management review to optimize use and management of available parking. Consider curbside management practices, on-street parking restrictions, priced parking feasibility, and updated off-street parking requirements in coordination with the Zoning Bylaw. Coordinate with exploring opportunities for active transportation, green infrastructure, and place-making features within the road Right of Way. Amend off-street parking requirements in the Zoning Bylaw to consider: a. Vehicle parking maximums that reflect modal split targets; b. Reduced vehicle parking supply requirements, including no parking requirements in some areas; c. Vehicular parking spaces be equipped with energized outlets, with a percentage being capable of providing Level 2 charging (208/204V); d. Bike parking supply and quality requirements to reflect modal split targets such as: Short- and long-term bicycle parking including for non-standard bikes (e.g. cargo, trailers), electric bike infrastructure and security measures; e. Cycling end-of-trip facility requirements; f. Car share parking options and Transportation Demand Management measures in lieu of dedicated personal vehicular parking stalls; g. Mobility scooter storage in select uses; h. Loading requirements to support meal delivery and online commerce; and i. Cash-in-lieu options.
