Real-Time Parking Information
Sunshine
Parks Canada and Resorts of the Canadian Rockies will manage parking at the Sunshine Ski Area leasehold and collect information for display on the Variable Messaging systems along the TransCanada Highway.
Automated counters will monitor capacity at key frontcountry parking lots and this information will be relayed to real time displays (or Variable Messaging Systems), along the TransCanada Highway throughout the Corridor. Visitors will learn of congested areas early in their commute to the Corridor, when they can make informed decisions about the location or timing of their visit. As will be standard throughout the Corridor, parking will be managed by variable parking fees, and when key areas become full, the access roads will be managed to keep vehicles from parking along the ditches, where they currently create hazards and mobility challenges for humans and wildlife.
In place of uncontrolled overflow parking, some areas will see new overflow lots created between the fencing of TransCanada or CPR rights of way (in areas unavailable for wildlife habitat), and shuttles will provide access to the desirable visitor locations.
