Precinct Food owners Steve and Liz Christensen say the Dunedin City Council's proposed parking changes in Vogel St will make it easier for customers to park on the street. As part of a raft of changes to parking in the city, about 150 free car parking spaces will become paid ones and some all-day parks will be restricted. The Dunedin City Council's bylaw subcommittee voted to accept the proposals yesterday, with some minor alterations. Precinct Food owner Steve Christensen said a huge demand for parking on the street meant it was no longer suitable for long-term parking. Dunedin City Council transport strategy manager Nick Sargent said a ride-share scheme would be trialled in North Dunedin with the University of Otago before being implemented across the city.
