On July 7th, the City of Nanaimo moved forward this past week on a long-standing need for recreational and gathering space in the south end of the city, with the purchase of land in Chase River for a South End Community Centre. Mayor Leonard Krog speaks with Executive Producer Jesse Woodward about the purchase, and the project. At that same meeting, council also finally adopted its amended off-street parking regulations bylaw after three previous readings of the amendment. This decision removes off-street parking minimums in a part of downtown Nanaimo referred to as the Downtown Urban Centre. Michael Basilli of Strong Towns Nanaimo, joins the show to discuss that decision, and their thoughts regarding parking reforms in Nanaimo.
