Another tweak could be coming to parking practices in Thunder Bay.

City council is set to look at adjusting parking enforcement hours at Monday night’s city council meeting.

Currently, short-term meter rates are in effect Monday to Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

McKellar Ward Councillor Brian Hamilton would like to see enforcement hours reduced.

He is proposing that parking be enforced Monday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Parking in Thunder Bay saw a big change in June.

New regulations including expanded parking enforcement hours and paid parking at the waterfront went into effect to help parking become more profitable and sustainable.

Over the past few years, the parking authority’s finances have been an issue.

Access to the Safe Restart funds and the Stabilization Reserve Fund was crucial in ensuring the Parking Reserve Fund was not fully depleted.
