A decision on those options was deferred to allow for public input at a meeting in March. The two options returned to last week\u2019s Council meeting (April 27): one with 10 parallel parking spaces for a net gain of three at a total cost of $57,440, and one with 21 angled parking spaces which would have partially cut into park green space for a net gain of 14 at a total cost for $67,430. Both costs would have been offset by the $50,000 already budgeted for drainage improvements between the park and the Town Docks.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14395\" style=\"width: 1414px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14395\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14395\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Brandon-Hall-explains-drainage-improvements-to-River-Mill-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Brandon Hall explains drainage improvements in River Mill Park to Council\" width=\"1404\" height=\"934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Brandon-Hall-explains-drainage-improvements-to-River-Mill-Park-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Brandon-Hall-explains-drainage-improvements-to-River-Mill-Park-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Brandon-Hall-explains-drainage-improvements-to-River-Mill-Park-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Brandon-Hall-explains-drainage-improvements-to-River-Mill-Park.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14395\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brandon Hall explains drainage improvements in River Mill Park to Council<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Discussion on the options had councillors standing firm in their beliefs on either side of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking out passionately against the proposed options were Councillors Wiebe, Alcock, Terziano, Schumacher, Fitzgerald and Armour, while Councillors Thompson and Stone and Mayor Aitchison were in favour of the angled parking option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gives us much needed additional parking downtown,\u201d said Councillor Brian Thompson. \u201cThe suggestion that we buy Dollarama parking lot, that\u2019s pie in the sky.

Trying to create that (angled parking) in very limited space is in my opinion going to create far more traffic, it will be a bigger parking headache, and I think we forget the value of greenspace is very high. In the big scope of things we can\u2019t take that lightly. I\u2019d love to see an option three which is greenspace it, add the drainage and add no more parking, do not cut into the park whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Nancy Alcock said she supported Wiebe wholeheartedly, and referred back to the Town\u2019s 2010 Community Improvement Plan which had a vastly different vision for the park. \u201cWe spent a lot of money on that and had some tremendous recommendations. We have these plans, let\u2019s look at them and see if we can implement them. I agree we do have a parking problem&#8230; just because we have a parking problem and we have this option before us, that doesn\u2019t make it right. This is not the location for more parking. Let\u2019s find more parking but not in what Councillor Brian Thompson called the jewel of our downtown. I wish there was an option 3.\u201d (See a PDF of the 2010 Community Improvement Plan <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/townHall\/resources\/com_imp_plan_final_oct10.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>.)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14396\" style=\"width: 717px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14396\" class=\"wp-image-14396 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Community-Improvement-Plan-RMP-concept.jpg\" alt=\"The Town's 2010 Community Improvement Plan suggested a concept for River Mill Park that included more pedestrian-friendly areas and less parking\" width=\"707\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Community-Improvement-Plan-RMP-concept-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/05\/Community-Improvement-Plan-RMP-concept.jpg 707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Town&#8217;s 2010 Community Improvement Plan suggested a concept for River Mill Park that included more pedestrian-friendly areas and less parking<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>In the beginning, there was a very nice conceptual drawing and it was all green, beautiful.

Losing these is dangerous to our downtown and our businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a suggestion amenable to Councillor Jason Fitzgerald: \u201cWe need to come up with other options. If you look around anywhere else in Muskoka there is a lack of parking problems but that\u2019s due to a failing core. We want to have parking problems here\u2026that means we have a vibrant main street. We need to look at an encompassing plan not just one part of the puzzle\u2026 Can we create more spaces there, yes, but I think we need to look at the bigger picture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The resolution was defeated 6-3 and a new resolution was proposed by Councillor Dan Armour that staff be directed to investigate and report back to General Committee on additional one-way parking options in the downtown core.<\/p>\n<p>Town of Huntsville\u2019s Executive Director of Infrastructure Jason Krynicki suggested a public meeting to see what ideas are generated before spending money on consultation. He gave an example of a possible one-way option: turning High Street from Brunel to West into a one-way road heading west with angled parking on the south side of the street. \u201cWe could probably fit 40 angled spaces in there,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are some entrances we would have to deal with and we would have to work with the funeral home for proper access there so that\u2019s a ballpark figure, but it would increase the parking on that street and also eliminate unsafe left turns from High Street onto Brunel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following a public meeting, staff will return to Council with suggestions and then perhaps hire a consultant to determine impact on traffic and neighbouring streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no silver bullet here,\u201d said Mayor Scott Aitchison, \u201cunless we spend a few million dollars to build a parking garage somewhere.
