We will be looking at this in a holistic fashion, in balancing residential and commercial interests, peak seasonal challenges, enforcement, travel patterns and other local impacts.

                                    Parking in the Main Street, Waterfront and Hill and Harbour areas of town tend to be difficult at times during the year. This does tell us that we have a vibrant community, but movement at certain times should be expected to be difficult. Help us in relooking at this challenge, compromises will need to be made, so keep an open mind as you look at this issue and the various opinions that will be brought forward in this community discussion.
