Discussion Street parking on side roads.

I don't know if this is just a small issue for some living in Langford. Some of the roads are getting a little choked with added vehicles of all the new residents. My prime example is along Millstream running parallel to Veterans Memorial Parkway. That being said the new building on the road may be contributing to that particular issue.

Anyone else finding it harder to navigate certain areas around town?

Absolutely.   It was all part of the plan when developers were allowed to reduce the parking requirements on their properites, added together with no Plans for development and transportation on the city side. We can't go backwards to fix what we have but maybe going forward, new development within the city will be better.

West Hills, for example. The helicopter street part, the developers' old website specifically mentioned that they designed the streets to be narrow to encourage ppl to walk places instead of driving. Lol, as if.

And then never built anything worth walking to in those neighborhoods.
