Halifax Regional Municipality voted to start charging for parking on downtown streets in Halifax and Dartmouth on Saturdays. Paul McKinnon says that makes it a bit more expensive to go downtown than anywhere else.
HALIFAX, N.S. — Even municipalities are feeling the financial squeeze these days. That’s one of the reasons HRM voted to start charging for on-street parking on Saturdays in downtown Halifax and Dartmouth. And it’s not going over well with an agency representing businesses. Paul MacKinnon is the CEO of the Downtown Halifax Business Commission. He and others are hoping it doesn’t keep out of town visitors from visiting the business core that’s still feeling the effects from COVID-19.
And yet they too seem to be a level of government that doesn't really want to talk about downtowns doesn't want to deal with the complex and comprehensive challenges that downtowns have. They kind of approach things piecemeal. And so, we're trying to build that relationship with the federal government, the provincial government and the city government. Not that we have all the answers.
So, we've got to fix our transit system, quite frankly. We've got to improve those micro mobility pieces. We've got to make investments in downtown to make it more people and pedestrian friendly. We're going to do all those things. But this is kind of putting the cart before the horse. We're putting in another cost on the downtown customers.What that's going to do is simply ensure that they go somewhere else rather than downtown.
