Businesses blast council for parking problems NICK LABA

Local businesses are complaining that pay parking in Ambleside Park is costing them tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue, just two weeks after the program was introduced.
Business owners and managers gave West Vancouver council a piece of their minds on Monday, Oct. 6, after pay parking went into effect at the popular waterfront destination on Sept. 15. Since then, it now costs more than $5 per hour for visitors to use one of the 440 municipal-owned spaces near the beach and Centennial Seawalk. And, despite previous warnings from the Ambleside & Dundarave Business Improvement Association that forcing drivers to pay in the park will just drive them to leave their vehicles in spaces meant for customers in the commercial area, council is already eyeing 228 spots along Argyle for paid patronage as well.

Christin Fernandes, owner of Da Vinci’s Home at 1461 Bellevue Ave., says parking is essential for her business. Several business owners from the Ambleside and Dundarave areas recently complained to West Vancouver council about unintended consequences of new pay parking regulations in nearby parks.
