The City of Whitefish has created a parking permit committee to look at parking in downtown.
The committee is expected to provide suggestions and feedback with respect to a pilot employee parking permit program, and also evaluate potential residential parking permit programs.
In October 2019, City Council adopted the Whitefish Parking Management Plan that makes several suggestions for ways to improve parking in the downtown area.
The committee is set to consist of stakeholders in the retail establishment, bar, restaurant, professional office, or hotel/lodging establishments in the parking study area; representative of the Whitefish School District; and members residing in the parking study area and/or within the city limits and two city staff members.
The pilot parking permit area focuses on downtown from Miles Avenue east to Columbia Avenue, and Depot Street south to East Fifth Street.
