Victoria firefighters union fires back against city’s parkade garden proposal after losing parking

The union representing Victoria firefighters is speaking out against the city’s plan to explore converting rooftop parking stalls at the Johnson Street Parkade into a rooftop community garden, after losing what it calls operationally required parking for emergency front line responders. The union says last week’s city council vote took place shortly after the city rejected “firefighter parking proposals” and after it eliminated “employer-provided parking for firefighters reporting to their downtown Headquarters,” according to IAFF Local 730. #cheknews #news #localnews #chek #vancouverisland #canada #bc #britishcolumbia #victoria #firefighters #firefighter #parking #parkade #cityofvictoria
