Norfolk County Council is considering another attempt at a paid parking.
After hearing a presentation on the results of the paid parking pilot project from staff on Tuesday, the group voted to allow staff to bring a future presentation forward regarding the changes they would make to paid parking this year to run from June to September.
Staff went over the results of the paid parking pilot project in the lakeside towns this past summer.
There was a total of 27,736 paid parking sessions, including uses of the online app, fast tap signs, and pay stations in both Long Point and Port Dover.
Overall, the project produced just over $50,000 of net revenue for the county.
Throughout the project there were bylaw enforcements checking vehicles, giving out 535 tickets for unpaid parking. Of those, 278 remain outstanding. There was a total potential fine revenue of $54,000 from the project.
In Port Dover there were 497 charges for unpaid parking and 20 for seasonal parking offences, Long Point saw 185 for unpaid parking and 19 seasonal, and Turkey Point had 92 seasonal charges.
Staff assured council the motion to request further information does not mean that council is required to move forward with paid parking this year.
