The Town of Saugeen Shores is conducting a study to develop parking strategies for the downtowns of both Port Elgin and Southampton to address current and future needs. The work comes from a recommendation in the Town’s 2020 Transportation Master Plan.
The project will address how the community wants to manage parking by exploring questions including should the town expand the supply of parking, are there different ways to manage parking demand and are there innovative ways to improve parking experiences.
Parking inventory field surveys will be conducted August 26th to 30th.
This will include collecting data on the number of vehicles parked downtown in the 2 areas.
A community survey on the topic will also be undertaken.
