This legislation will increase the one-time permit application fee for Pay and Park operators to account for inflation, which has not been updated for a significant period of time. It will improve signage, allowing parking patrons to be better informed of the requirements and restrictions specific to a parking facility and provide improved documentary evidence for resolving penalty disputes.Notices were sent to all impacted operators. In addition, Councilor Novick sent an email to all operators inviting them to an in person meeting to discuss the changes. That meeting was productive and led to improvements to the suggested changes.
