Accessible Parking Spaces

The County of Prince Edward is currently reviewing accessible parking across municipally owned parking lots and the downtown core areas.

Staff are proposing to install new accessible parking spaces and improve existing spaces in Picton, Bloomfield, and Wellington at off-street parking lots and on-street parking areas. The goal is to improve accessibility and public safety.

Staff have proposed these additions and changes based on research and consultation with the Accessibility Advisory Committee.

The municipality is now seeking public feedback on the proposed changes to determine if there are any issues or concerns before they are implemented. View the maps posted on the right and complete the short survey below.

Off-street Accessible Parking Additions and Changes

There are two types of accessible off-street parking spaces.

Type A has a wider parking space and has signage that identifies the space as “van accessible." These spaces are for people using larger mobility devices, such as wheelchairs or scooters, who need more space to enter or exit vehicles.

Type B has a standard parking space. These spaces are for people who do not need extra space because they do not use mobility devices or they use smaller devices, such as canes or crutches.

Proposed additions and changes:

Picton

• King Street parking lot: Three new Type A spaces
• Mary Street parking lot: Three new Type A space

Bloomfield

• Bloomfield Town Hall parking lot: One new Type A space

Wellington

• Wellington Rotary Beach: Two new Type A spaces; Upgrade two existing accessible parking spaces to Type A spaces
