LakeMac Parking Strategy

Did you know?

• Walking and cycling to local shops is good for business and the local economy and is essential to the success of revitalisation strategies. 
• Space allocated to bicycle parking can produce much higher levels of retail spend than the same space devoted to car parking. 
• LakeMac is one of the most car-dependent cities in NSW due to the polycentric urban form. 
• Car ownership in Toronto - 42% own one car, 14% have no car. 
• Perception of parking difficulty in Toronto was 21% found it easy to park 43% difficult. 
• Hardest time to find a parking spot is 10am-2pm on Thursday. 

Toronto will be the 3rd centre to have a Transport Management Plan developed that will aim to: 

• Increase parking space turnover in high demand areas to improve parking availability. 
• Better distribute demand for parking across the whole centre. 
• Reduce congestion and the number of cars circling. 
• Increase the pedestrian environment and connectivity from underutilised parking areas to the main activity areas.
