Nanaimo is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, which brings growing pressure on the mobility system to provide safe, convenient, and affordable transportation to meet the community's needs.


The purpose of this Citywide Parking Review is to review parking regulations to better align with City Plan and the community's goals and values. This will include changes to the City's approach to off-street parking and curbside management, which will result in amendments to the Off-Street Parking Regulations Bylaw, Traffic and Highway Regulation Bylaw and Crossing Control Bylaw.

We are looking for community input on these topics:

  • Off-street parking requirements
  • Vehicle parking (electric vehicles, infrastructure, access, accessible spaces, commercial and passenger loading zones, etc.)
  • Bicycle and E-mobility facilities
  • On-street and off-street parking supply
  • Distribution of curb space (sidewalk, trees and green space, transit stop infrastructure, on-street parking, public amenities, etc.)
  • Advancing sustainable transportation

For more detailed information please see the documents on the right.

A survey will be available March 1 until March 28, 2025.

    The City is updating its off-street parking regulations and curbside management approach to better align with the goals and policies in City Plan: Nanaimo Reimagined. Parking has broad impacts on how people get around, community well-being, economic opportunities, the buildings that get built, and environmental sustainability.
