Charlottetown business groups have asked for a freeze on parking rates until September.(Katerina Georgieva/CBC) comments
The City of Charlottetown has received a request from local business groups to put a freeze on parking fees.
The meter rates were due to increase in October from $1.50 an hour to $2 and parkade rates from $8.75 a day to $12.25 but those plans were put on hold as businesses began to see fewer customers due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The city offered free parking at meters for the month of December, with the province picking up $15,000 of the lost revenue and the city absorbing the remaining $45,000.
