Yorkton will again offer free parking in designated lots in the downtown area over the holiday season.
“To encourage business activity in the downtown area of Yorkton, Council has historically offered forms of free parking in this area of the City during the holiday season,” Terrence Schneider with the City told the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.
“The Traffic Bylaw provides pay to park standards in public parking lots. The Bylaw also notes that Council has the authority to establish free parking provisions for periods of time identified by resolution.”
Council, in keeping with the tradition of offering free parking in the downtown area of Yorkton during the holiday season, unanimously supported free access to the four Multi Space Pay Station Parking Lots and the Permit Parking Lots located on Myrtle Avenue, Betts Avenue, First Avenue and Second Avenue, from December 17, 2018 through December 27, 2018.
