Payment for downtown Tofino parking will be in effect from July 17 until October.
The paid parking program will be in effect from July 17 until October, a move the district said will increase parking turnover, encourage active transportation, and provide funding for the municipality, an internationally renowned destination that receives a huge influx of visitors every summer.
“This is a practical way to tackle Tofino’s acute parking issues, rising infrastructure costs, and community amenity requirements,” Law said in a statement. “We have heard clearly from our residents, visitors and business community about the increasing struggle with parking in Tofino’s downtown core.”
Tofino, Ahousaht, Hesquiaht, and Tla-o-qui-aht Nation residents are eligible for free parking permits. Previously, district staff had planned for the program to begin in May and run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
