We are developing a Long-Term Parking Strategy to support a more vibrant and walkable downtown. The strategy will be a 20-year visionary guide for a coordinated, strategic approach to parking:

  • operations
  • policy
  • planning
  • financial sustainability

Managing downtown parking is a balancing act between competing priorities including customer service and financial sustainability. Our long-term parking strategy will be a guide for striking the right balance.

We have hired LEA Consulting Ltd. to do a study that will:

  • identify the amount and location of existing parking
  • assess demand for parking in downtown Kitchener
  • develop a strategy to make better use of the current parking supply
  • identify parking improvements and identify new products the City could offer

Share with us your experiences and concerns about parking downtown. Tell us how you use the available options – or why you don’t. Your contributions will help us improve parking operations and better support community needs.
