statement

At this time I would like that the comprehensive parking study be tabled to the October 27th, 2025 council meeting to enable the Downtown Business Improvement Association the opportunity to present a deputation at the September 25th, 2025 Transportation Committee meeting and we would then bring a report back from that. The consultant has agreed if we wish to have them come to the transportation meeting on the 25th of September. It’s come to our light this morning that the DBIA didn’t feel they had enough consultation time and with dialogue back and forth from the City to the DBIA, there might have been a little bit of confusion. So, we’re going to give them the opportunity. They’re a vital part. I sit on the [Belleville Downtown Improvement Area Board] as a councillor. They feel it’s very important. So, I’d like to table this until the 27th of October.

Do you agree with this?
