The City of Moose Jaw has made several changes to its parking patio and seasonal boardwalks policy to encourage more businesses and groups to take advantage of the program.
The changes were passed unanimously during city council on Monday. Last year, there were two parking patios approved, affecting four parking stalls.
“I think they were very good and I hope we can promote them and certainly attract people to our downtown core. I think they were very good,” said Coun. Doug Blanc.
Director of Planning and Development Michelle Sanson outlined why the changes were made.
“After last year as our inaugural year with the parking patio program, we wanted to build on that and include some amendments and some housekeeping amendments that we saw that the policy did require,” said Sanson.
The amendments to the policy include the addition of public parking patios.
