Downtown parking was front and centre Thursday morning, as the Mayor’s Implementation Team discussed the city centre.
A presentation from the Belleville Downtown Improvement Area requested 24-hour free parking in the entire Riverside Parking lot, along the Moira River.
Elisha Purchase with Build Belleville says they have recommended a two-hour free limit.
Councillor Jack Miller says he is in favour of the two-hour limit.
Miller says then the revenue loss has to be made up by the tax base.
The two-hour limit proposal will be taken to council for approval later this month.
