I just don’t think the Resort Municipality of Whistler understands the concept of induced demand, especially as it promotes increased biking/walking over driving. The more spaces there are to park, the more people will drive to reach them.
There are new parking spots now on Cheakamus Lake Road across from the Interpretive Forest just past the wastewater facility. This after new parking spots were formalized on the east side of the road last year. There is even a crosswalk being installed.
What we are being indoctrinated with by our local elected government is “Hey, don’t drive. Leave your cars at home! We need to reduce carbon emissions!”
Where in fact, elected officials are actuating, “Hey. More spots for you to park your cars. Drive without prejudice!”
