On Tuesday, Council will receive a report from Geoff Goodall (General Manager of Planning & Operations) detailing what options are available to Council with regard to parking at Big Mama's Steakhouse (formerly Bil-Nor Restaurant). This matter was last discussed on Tuesday, June 29th at a Committee of the Whole Meeting. Read the report here
The Ministry of Transportation has told the owners' of Big Mama's Steakhouse that a "no-parking" zone on Highway #97's shoulders', near their business, will be enforced in mid-September.
This is a no-win for Council as Council has no jurisdiction to set parking areas along Highway 97 and residents' probably would not be thrilled about Council setting up an underpass, estimated at $1 million dollars, especially to assist only one business and no real justified benefit to the area and reducing the speed limit near Big Mama's Steakhouse will not solve the issue around parking for this business.
We'll see on Tuesday what Council will do with this topic.....
