Hello, voici ce que j'ai reçu hier:

his Email comes to you from the Online Petition for Free Designated 'City of Ottawa' Parking for Scooters and Motorcycles Web Site Online Petition Update - Oct 09

New information on motorcycle parking in Ottawa

If this is your first communication from the Free/ designated parking in Ottawa web site. Welcome and thank you for your support. These newsletters/emails are only sent out a few times a year when new information is available or changes are taking place with the city related to motorcycles or scooters.

Please excuse any repetition of information in this news letter/email.

It has come to my attention that some people have not been receiving the newsletters. I will try and repeat some of the pertinent information as well as send this out in separate emails to allow people to check there spam and allow future updates to come through. Please check the end of this news letter/email/PDF attachment for a coupon to thank you for your participation and continued support.

Full versions of the below listed information are available on the petition web site. This information includes copies of communication from the city and a copy of the new by-law. Online Petition: Latest Status

May 13th, 2009: New bylaw is passed allowing motorcycles to now legally park 2 per metered spot. As long as meter has been paid, neither will receive a ticket. This amounts to ½ price parking as long as you share your spot and one of you pays. The new By-law also now makes it legal to park at up to 45degrees.

June 30th, 2009: 1st City of Ottawa designated parking spaces open at 70 Clarence in the market. 10 car spots turned into 31 bike/scooter spots. Parking Rate is also 1/2 price. Security of scooters is recognized and locking racks are provided.

Aug, 2009: Designated parking spots available at City Hall underground parking lot on Elgin also ½ price.

*Read this next one if you want your voice heard on more and future changes on parking in the City of Ottawa. (This included cars too if you have a comment I'd be happy to share)

Oct, 3rd 2009: A new session of the parking stakeholder consultation group begins. I'm privileged to again be invited to share the thoughts and wishes of riders to help shape the future of parking in the city of Ottawa. Please forward your comments or concerns to ottawaparking@gmail.com

Last year I passed along about 12 pages of comments to the city, bring it on. Updates and minutes of the meeting are available to anyone wishing to see. Please email me at the above address and I'd be happy to forward them. One item being looked at is the removal of metered parking to be replaced with a pay and display system, this will allow more vehicles to park in any given area. I'm also hoping this will open the door to designated street parking (wish me luck on this one) so far so good.

Oct 30th 2009: 1st City of Ottawa parking lot with designated parking for motorcycles/scooters will close for the season.

Thanks again to all of you for your comments and continued support a few more exciting things are in the works that will further benefit our sport. I will share as soon as confirmation is received. My new base of operations is now Ottawa Yamaha - Motorcycle and ATV reviews, specifications, prices, used motorcycles by PowerSports Network Please feel free to contact me anytime if I can answer any questions or share a contact or 2 to help with a motorcycle/scooter related issue.

All the Best
Sheldon

ouai il y a encore du travail à faire.
enlever 10 places pour mettre 30 motos et charger 1/2 prix à chaque moto. c'est moi où j'ai l'impression qu'on se fait un peu avoir.
sans parler de l'histoire des parcmetres pour deux motos, c'est bien mais ça donne aussil'occasion de donner deux tickets si le temps est dépassé.
bon j'ai bien l'impression qu'on se fait embobiner.
c'est un mieux mais on est vraiment vraiment loin de crier victoire. ça fait plaisir que ça bouge quand même.

bon sang! parking gratuit pour motos c'est pas compliqué pourtant. même des conseillers municipaux pourraient comprendre ça.
G-R-A-T-U-I-T.

J'ai reçu le même email et apres une premiere lecture je n'était pas trop sur de ce qui avait été décidé.
Si il y deux motos sur un stationment qui es ce qui paye? comment savoir combien de temps il reste? je suis d'accord, gratuit c'est plus simple.
