Seasonal shoppers in Yorkton will once again get a break on parking.
鈥�To encourage business activity in the downtown area of Yorkton, Council has historically offered forms of free parking in downtown during the holiday season,鈥� explained Nicole Baptist, Bylaw & Safety Supervisor with the City at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.
Baptist noted, 鈥淐ouncil has the authority to establish free parking provisions for period of time identified by resolution.鈥�
The recommendation put forward by City administration stated, 鈥淭hat, in keeping with the tradition of offering free parking in the downtown area of Yorkton during the holiday season, Council offers 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 Dec. 15, through Dec. 28.鈥�
The motion was unanimously passed by Council.
The City will post signage on multi-space pay station machines explaining that parking is currently free in those lots.
