How about paid parking for water access cottagers or visitors? What are your opinions about parking on Big Hawk and Little Hawk? Do you feel frustrated or unsafe with the current parking situation? How much would you be willing to pay for improved parking?
Most importantly, now is the time to let Algonquin Highlands council and administration know what you think about the proposed parking solutions for our community. Here is the link to a report regarding parking that was brought before council in December: https://algonquinhighlands.civicweb.net/document/443206/2025%20Big%20Hawk%20Lake%20Road%20Parking%20Options.docx?handle=01A9F4DD80364C5E87DD8C68D5D09FF8
On Thursday, January 29th, town council will be meeting to continue discussing their parking strategy and plans for the entire Algonquin Highlands area. Send them your thoughts prior to the meeting or request to speak at the upcoming meeting.
If you want to appear before council next week, you have to request it by tomorrow! Instructions are here: https://www.algonquinhighlands.ca/municipal-services/council/appearing-before-council/#:~:text=Making%20a%20Delegation,prior%20to%20a%20meeting%20date.
