A popular pickup option for those ordering from downtown shops is being extended until May 31.

The 10-minute curbside pickup parking stalls were implemented in December in response to downtown businesses struggling through COVID-19.

Transforming 12 parking spots along 30th Avenue to loading zones, the initiative allowed customers to easily access a parking spot in order to quickly pick up pre-ordered purchases from area shops and restaurants.

Two additional locations were added on 31st and 28th avenues.

The program was a three-month pilot and following the success, it is being extended.

The city originally approved to spend up to $4,000 on signs, but they were made in-house at no cost, apart from staff time. With no cost to continue the program, businesses will continue to benefit from it until at least late spring.
