GCAT’s Recommendations for Guelph’s Downtown Parking Master Plan, 2023
Your Know Rights Workshop Presentation by Dave Shellnutt (link to slides)
Removing Parking Minimums: This resource outlines why eliminating parking minimums is a key step toward making Guelph more affordable, healthy, and sustainable. The document explains how mandatory parking requirements drive up housing costs, encourage car dependency, weaken active-transportation networks, and contribute to sprawl. It also highlights the benefits of removing these requirements, such as enabling more walkable, transit-friendly development, improving public health, and strengthening city finances.
