| dc.description.abstract | A lack of empirical data regarding trends in municipal public parking located in small and low growth city downtowns contributes to municipalities enforcing parking regulations in the absence of local context. There is an opportunity for planners and policy makers to provide current data for decisions regarding future parking in small and low growth cities. Efforts to understand the issues of parking as they relate to their local context can result in better informed municipal public parking management strategies, contributing to downtown vibrancy. This practicum examines municipal public parking in downtown Portage la Prairie, MB. It provides replicable tools for municipalities with similar circumstances to collect data about parking in their downtowns, and examples of relevant parking management strategies. The findings reveal that parking is a complex planning issue, with parking perceptions, preferences, and behaviours that may at times contradict themselves. | en_US |
