The City of Vaughan retained McIntosh Perry to develop a parking management strategy that helps address parking needs in the Kleinburg Village core. Kleinburg is one of Vaughan’s premier commercial neighbourhoods with a charming residential community at its core and a rich and varied history. It is also a destination for thousands of visitors. Limited public parking is recognized as a significant challenge. The Kleinburg Parking Strategy review explores opportunities to accommodate immediate and long-term needs for parking in the area through a comprehensive, forward-looking strategy. The strategy assessed the current parking conditions, recommended implementable parking management solutions and identified sustainable sources of funding or financing alternatives. The study was a key tool in identifying and assessing alternatives for existing and future parking needs, as well as transportation modes of travel to and within the study area including private vehicles, walking, cycling and transit.
A key component of the study conveys the study information meaningfully to the audience, including the public, stakeholders, Councillors and City staff, as well as, to collect and incorporate input from them throughout the study. Therefore, the approach to the study included developing an effective public engagement strategy based on proactive consultation and engagement with stakeholder groups and the public, supported by the technical analysis needed to both understand current conditions and behaviours.
Kleinburg Village Parking Strategy Review won the ITE Toronto 10th Annual Project of the Year Award.
