Parking review is planned

Council has ordered a review of parking in the downtown Drayton area after receiving a request from a local restaurant to create a 15-minute parking zone in front of the business.

Council deferred a resolution to approve a request from Palm Pizza Plus owner Milan Aloric to create the 15-minute zone in front of 11 Main Street East and directed staff to conduct the review.

“Having 15 minute parking in front of my business would be beneficial to my business and my customers,” stated Aloric in a letter presented at the June 10 meeting.

Councillor Neil Driscoll suggested the township should be looking at “how can we protect all our downtown businesses, rather than separating out one.”
