Burnaby, BC, considered pay parking at waterfront park, beach Barnet Marine Park, but city council said parking charges would be 'unfair' to families. Councillors suggested a free shuttle instead.
After Burnaby’s parks commission received a report considering paid parking at Barnet Marine Park, city council resolutely opposed the idea.
The report said a paid parking system, where visitors would pay a fee to park their vehicles within the park, could help regulate parking demand and generate revenue that can be used for maintenance and improvements in the park. He noted some of Metro Vancouver’s parks currently use a reservation system and suggested that option be considered.Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, who is also chair of the parks commission, said paid parking was not under consideration.
Dhaliwal noted the other option listed in the report is to outsource parking management to a professional company.
