Parking police in the downtown core will be targeting business owners and employees, not shoppers.
The Downtown Simcoe Business Improvement Area is contracting a parking enforcement commissionaire to keep parking spots open in the downtown area.
"A big part of the parking problem are constant abusers," said BIA director Deb Murphy. "The people who work and live downtown, who park right in front of or around the corner from their business and sit there all day."
The proposal to hire Commissionaires Great Lakes for parking enforcement was unanimously supported at Tuesday's council meeting. If final approval is given at next week's meeting, downtown merchants and shoppers will see visible parking enforcement as early as April.
