City will utilize Hot Smart smartphone app to allow motorists to remotely extend street parking times near UHNBC
Hospital workers, visitors and patients who want to park close to University Hospital of Northern B.C. will soon have an option to extend the length of time they occupy that spot beyond two hours of free parking.
There will be no change to the area immediately surrounding medical services buildings near the hospital affected by construction of a multi-story parking structure on Lethbridge Street. That will remain a two-hour free parking zone with no option to extend the time. The roads that will remain as two-hour free zones include Alward Street between 10th and 15th Avenue, Laurier Crescent between Edmonton Stret and 10th Avenue, Lethbridge Street from 13th Avenue to Laurier.
Staff recommended the review be based on community engagement and will include an evaluation of each city-owned parkade, the possibility of expanding the C1 commercial zone as it applies to parking, and that the city conduct an inventory of the number of the downtown on- and off-street parking spaces.
“We would be looking at things like accessibility issues, looking at what are we going to do about electric vehicles. Transit could certainly come into play. It’s something that touches almost everybody in Prince George and it’s certainly a very contentious issue and it’s something that hasn’t been looked at in over 10 years.”
