Excerpt:
Westboro Village BIA executive director Michelle Groulx said business groups aren’t surprised by the proposed changes because Ottawa is one of the few cities that allows organizations such as BIAs to overrule the introduction of paid on-street parking.
Still, Groulx said she fears that instituting paid on-street parking in her ward – a recommendation her group vetoed a few years ago – could deter shoppers from visiting the neighbourhood.
