Downtown parking conversation: Disability community

Online Meeting

Online Meeting

Please join the City of Vancouver and members of the disability community for a small-group discussion about downtown parking and mobility. The meeting will be held online via Zoom.

Your insights are extremely valuable, as the City works on a new Downtown Parking Plan. During the conversation, we’d love to learn about how you get around and how you use parking. We’d also love your feedback on how the City can make downtown more accessible and inclusive for all community members. If you walk, roll, drive or use transit in downtown Vancouver, we want to hear from you.

This meeting has been intentionally designed to support accessibility and will include ASL interpreting. Accessible digital files will be shared with participants after the meeting; let us know if you need other alternative formats. To request other accommodations, please contact Jen Dugger Spalding at 360-726-7122 or jen.duggerspalding@cityofvancouver.us as soon as possible. We will do our best to support you in all the ways we can.
