Parking Study

The Town of Parry Sound is undertaking a parking study to better understand how parking is currently being used and to plan for the community’s future needs. As Parry Sound continues to grow and evolve, the study will help identify opportunities to improve parking availability, convenience, and overall efficiency for residents, businesses, workers, and visitors. The results will help guide future decisions and support a vibrant, accessible, and well-functioning community.

The Town of Parry Sound has retained LEA Consulting Ltd. to complete the parking study. LEA was selected based on its experience and expertise in transportation and parking planning, and will support the Town by reviewing current parking conditions, identifying needs and opportunities, and developing recommendations for future improvements. Through this work, the study will provide a strong foundation for informed decision-making and help the Town plan for parking in a way that supports residents, businesses, and visitors.
