Tiffin St Launch & Parking

For those affected there is now a $10 launch fee + $3hr/max$20 for parking. Now for the situation they didn't think of. For those non residents with the blue handicap plate or sticker, there is no parking fee however you need to pay for the launch. No instructions or button on the pay meter for launch only. Now what, from Barrie City Traffic Division, they said, pay the least amount you can on the meter for parking, a $10.00 fee is automatically added for the launch. Seems reasonable until they reprogram it.

Looks like Barrie is going to vote on augmenting the municipal fees for non residents to $50 a day, nuts.

$30 on top???? those extra dollars can drive you pretty far north

Between Barrie and Innisfil this is becoming crazy, guess I am to poor to understand these things .

The one counselor related that it would "encourage" people to park more in the downtown area for shopping. He's an idiot, if I'm coming to launch a boat or sit on the beach, my initial intent isn't to go shopping in some traffic congested construction zone where people sit in extra wide sidewalks to drink their latte.

Here's the update from the last Barrie counsel meeting, they too have become greedy, I'll spend my money elsewhere. Be aware the parking tickets have also increased.

A motion increasing non-resident parking rates to $10 an hour from $3 and the daily maximum parking rate to $50 from $20, effective July 2, 2020, in Barrie’s waterfront parking areas, was approved by City Council.

The motion also states that Enforcement Services Branch staff ask Ontario’s Ministry of the Attorney General to increase the early payment fine to $75 from $20, and increase the set fine to $100 from $30, for paid parking infractions in the waterfront area. These increases would better align Barrie with its neighbouring municipalities which have waterfront parking.

In addition, the City’s seasonal non-resident parking pass will increase to $130 from $90 - except for residents of Innisfil and the townships of Essa, Springwater and Oro-Medonte, who can continue to pay $90 for the annual pass.

City staff say approximately 35% of waterfront parking hours are used by non-Barrie residents, in lots which include Johnson Beach. Parking fine revenues are used to cover the cost of enforcement; the intent is to drive compliance by ensuring a financial incentive to pay for parking, rather than running the risk of receiving an expensive ticket.

The motion passed by City Council also suspends paid parking in downtown Barrie until September 8, 2020, to help support its economic recovery.

I have sticker for accessible parking blue still got a ticket last year unless they changed it up .When I went to pay for it they said that the parking laws are different from Toronto .Barrie sure see us city people different

haha, there's the real rub...a large portion of Barrie residents are/were city people

The last time I was at Innisville was for the M&G a couple of winters ago and I won't go back again

there are far more user friendly areas to visit

I think you got screwed, copied from the Barrie parking bylaws:
Individuals displaying a valid Accessible Parking Permit or Disabled Person Parking Permit are permitted to park for free in all municipal paid parking locations but are required to abide by any time limits that may apply to that location.
In addition last I found: In Barrie, Ontario Veterans can park at all on-street parking meters and all municapally-owned off street metered parking lots for the maximum time allowed. One condition is that the Veterans vehicle display a valid veteran licence plate which are available to the provinces license issuing offices.
