PARKING OPTIONS

There are two options for parking on the south side of 50 Avenue between 15 Street S.W. and 17 Street S.W. under consideration that the technical team is seeking public feedback on.

Benefits:

• Maintains wide boulevard
• Familiar to drivers and other users of the roadway
• Minimizes pavement surface

Trade-offs:

• Doors on the driver’s side swing into oncoming traffic
• Provides fewer parking stalls compared to angled parking
• Harder manoeuvering in and out of stalls

Benefits:

• Provides more parking stalls compared to parallel parking
• Doors do not swing into the driving lane
• Greater separation from through traffic for people getting in and out of their vehicles.
• Easier manoeuvering in and out of stalls

Trade-offs:

• Parked vehicles must back into through traffic
• Increases pavement surface
• Reduces landscaping and boulevard width
• Future increase of onsite parking at the Glenmore Athletic Park may result in underutilization of additional stalls
