EDMONTON City council voted unanimously on Monday to not introduce paid parking at five sites in Edmonton. The city was considering implementing paid parking at Emily Murphy Park, Rafter’s Landing, Muttart Conservatory, Fort Edmonton Park, and TELUS World of Science in spring 2022. Negative financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and an economic recession prompted city administration to make the suggestion as well as others to improve Edmonton s fiscal outlook in what is called the Reimagine Services project. Administration proposed implementing a two-hour grace period in which parking would be free at parks located in the river valley and not associated with an attraction.
EDMONTON New documents released by the city to help guide council decision-making showcase how much potential cost savings or revenue generation could be created by implementing changes identified in Edmonton’s Reimagine Services project, like reducing programming or changing firefighter responses. For more than a year, the city has been working on how to offset the negative financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and an economic recession, through a series of proposals called the Reimage Services project. The city contracted external consultant KPMG to produce business cases and options to help find cost savings and efficiencies for five of its largest budgeted service areas within the Reimagine Services portfolio.
