Reduced loading zone size and hours will free up spaces

In a move that is long overdue the Winnipeg Parking Authority is set to add on-street parking spaces to Osborne Village.

After a review of the area it was concluded that as many as 15 loading zones could be eliminated all together, 10 could have their hours reduced to make them available for evening parking and six more could be reduced in size and have their hpours reduced.

All told that would increase the available spot by 35 on weekdays plus an additional 31 at night and five more on weekends.

Under their jurisdiction the parking authority does not need council approval to eliminate or reduce loading zones. Businesses and residents in the area will be notified of the changes.
