The public is invited to participate in two new surveys aimed at improving and modernizing parking in Prince George.

The surveys include questions about parking availability, costs, accessibility needs, EV parking and active transportation options such as cycling.

One is for all residents of Prince George, while the other will go directly to business owners, city staff state in a press release.

These surveys are part of the new Parking Modernization Study, which launched in February.

The project aims to assess and enhance parking in the Downtown and Hospital Parking Zones.

The city has engaged transportation planning and engineering firm LEA Consulting Ltd. (“LEA”) to assist with the study.
Recommendations will be based on observed parking demand, public and partner feedback, and best practices adopted by communities similar to Prince George.
The study will consider improvements to the city’s parking system in the following areas:

  • Parking supply and design
  • Public safety
  • Accessibility
  • Payment and enforcement
  • Supporting infrastructure and maintenance

The survey results capturing local’s and business owners' parking concerns and experiences will form a critical component of this study.

In addition to the surveys, direct engagement with downtown businesses and organizations such as the Downtown Business Association, Chamber of Commerce, and Tourism Prince George is planned.

Two surveys are now available:

  • A public survey, open to all residents which can be accessed here.
  • A business survey designed specifically for downtown businesses will be sent directly to recipients.

City staff plan to present the findings of the surveys, the study and public input to the city council in July.
