www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, July 24, 2014 | 8 For more news, visit www.oakvillebeaver.com End Of The Roll Presents Parking plan moves ahead continued from p.5 Improvements to signs that direct people to parking areas in both Downtown Oakville and Kerr Village will be erected as well. The two areas will also boast new quickstop, 20-minute parking spaces (one per block, per direction) while painted parking lines will be resurrected. The two-hour on-street parking duration will be extended to three hours and hourly rates will increase to $2. Despite hearing from some delegates that included Sharlene Plewman, the executive director of the Downtown Oakville Business Improvement Area (BIA) and Doug Sams, the executive director of Kerr Village BIA, that they'd like to see the Town's multi-prong approach of revitalizing the areas to include some kind of free parking relief, many councillors favoured staff's recommendation that the Town continue operating its current commercial parking program with the recently agreed improvements. "Free parking undermines the sustainable funding model a commercial parking operation requires by reducing the contribution to the parking reserves and limiting our ability to introduce new parking facilities," a related staff report stated. Moving ahead with other revitalization efforts, staffers have been directed to look into the feasibility of building a parking garage to meet the parking needs ahead of the scheduled 2016/17 Lakeshore Road reconstruction and the delay of that construction until 2018/19.
