This week Nanaimo city council heard from a group making the case for the city to get rid of minimum parking requirements. At that same meeting, construction downtown on Commercial Street was in the spotlight, with the city making street parking in the downtown area free for the duration.

Midcoast Morning speaks with Caelen Middleton of Strong Towns Nanaimo about parking minimums, and James Knight with the City of Nanaimo about the construction project underway on Commercial Street.
