Steveston Traffic & Parking Improvements feedback form now online

by Barbara Corder
(Steveston, BC Canada)

For those of you who may have missed the Parking Open House at the Community Centre recently, it was formulated to discuss proposed changes to the parking situation in Steveston.

In 2006, a poll was taken in Steveston to see what people thought of proposed changes to parking. Nothing was done at that time, but the City of Richmond is once again putting forth ideas for proposed changes.

Your input and ideas are encouraged. Because many folks couldn't attend, they have put the questionnaire online.

The Steveston Traffic & Parking Improvements website outlines what those changes might entail, and there is a quick and easy form to fill and send in, which will give you a chance to voice your ideas and thoughts.


  1. One main change is to consider a stop light at the corner of No. 1 Road and Moncton (to replace the 4-way stop). With so many children in and around that corner (coming from the Centre, Park, etc.) a stop light isn't a bad idea. Many people just don't know how to manoeuvre through a 4-way stop correctly.

  2. Another proposed change is to introduce 35 angled parking spots on the north side of Bayview, between No. 1 Road and 3rd Avenue. These would replace existing parallel spots, but the City would like to make these 35 spots metered to help pay for the physical changes to curbing, etc.

  3. Another proposed change, is to designate a special place where tour buses could park when bringing people into the village. Now they park on almost any street, taking up valuable parking spots.

Important Note: The general consensus seems to be (in 2006 and now) to leave the current 2 hour parking limits in place, and NOT introduce metered parking to existing spots. WHEW! I'm all for that.

I encourage you all to look at the website and submit your form. It only takes a few minutes of your time, and hopefully the parking situation won't change much - we don't want to see metered parking in our Village. That would be disastrous for merchants.

Many thanks, (and please share with family, friends, merchants in the Steveston area who are not on this distribution list).
