Merchants at White Rock’s Five Corners will have to wait until next month to learn if their appeal for the return of across-the-board two-hour parking has swayed city council.
Council voted Monday to table a decision on the matter, after it was discovered that information presented during an April 4 delegation had not been reviewed by all members of council.
The point was raised by business-owner Glynis de Crewe-Le Blanc, who asked during question period if council had received a petition she submitted supporting return of the two-hour time limit. Coun. Helen Fathers said she hadn’t.
While city administrators had recommended council endorse maintaining three one-hour stalls that were changed to the reduced limit about four months ago, de Crewe-Le Blanc questioned the fairness of an uninformed decision.
“How can it be looked at without reviewing all the evidence?” she asked .
The decision to table the matter passed, with Coun. Lynne Sinclair opposed.
