Rumour or Reality? Downtown Parking and Bike Lanes

You may have heard the claim: “Downtown parking is being removed to make room for bike lanes.”

Here’s what you should know:

Whitby is planning future enhancements that support parking, cycling safety, and pedestrian access downtown. While cycling infrastructure is part of long-term planning, no parking removal has been approved or implemented.

The Town is exploring balanced solutions that support accessibility, local businesses, and all modes of transportation.

Planning focuses on integration - not trade-offs.
