Council signals need for a comprehensive parking plan as tourism grows
Summary
Officials cited increased visitation and day‑trippers as drivers of parking pressure; Police Chief Daniel Seyle reported more service calls. Council will update the parking inventory, review existing plans, and consider measures such as paid parking or QR code systems at beach accesses.
Council members and Police Chief Daniel Seyle discussed growing parking demand tied to increased visitors and day‑trippers. Seyle reported an increase in service calls associated with the growth and urged proactive planning. "As part of that discussion, potential tools such as paid parking and QR code systems, particularly at beach access points, were considered," the minutes state.
Council asked staff to update the inventory of existing parking, evaluate existing parking plans, and review how peer towns manage parking. No formal action was taken at the retreat; these tasks were added to the Council’s implementation list for the coming year.
