Love Kingston Marketplace
The City of Kingston, Tourism Kingston and the Downtown Kingston! BIA are once again reimagining parts of downtown to help respond to the impacts facing residents, businesses, culture, tourism and the local economy due to COVID-19.
Love Kingston Marketplace 2021 includes several initiatives that provide additional space and programming for businesses to expand operations, and for residents to dine, shop, move, play and engage outdoors while following health and safety guidelines.
The City of Kingston wants to hear from you about your experience with Love Kingston Marketplace 2021 City led initiatives. The input received will be shared in a staff report to the Environment, Infrastructure and Transportation Policies Committee to help inform future measures and ways to improve the experience in the public right of way in downtown Kingston.
See the Love Kingston Marketplace project page for more information.

close Princess Street to traffic from Barrie to King
The blaring noise of F150s, Harleys and racing mufflers as well as the stench of auto exhaust and diesel make Princess more a raceway than a pedestrian street. If non commercial traffic was barred from May 24 until Thanksgiving the temporary, ugly concrete construction barriers and butt boxes could be removed and faux patios set up in parking spaces could be made more inviting and less like cubicles. Pedestrians would not have to struggle by on the narrow passages left between store fronts and the many barriers. Laughable downtown Kingston might actually become Love Kingston.

Stop Taking Away Parking
It seems every time I go downtown, more parking is taken away for either a new condo, bike lanes or blocked with Concrete Barriers for "Love Kingston Marketplace". To make things worse, there are always delivery trucks in the middle of Princess St because they no longer have delivery areas to pull into. Not having parking is not going to get me to ride the bus, bike, or park further away and walk. It's going to get me to stop trying to spend my money downtown and go where there is ample parking. If that's what you are trying to do, it is working. It's making me "Love Not Going to Kingston Downtown".

Secure Bike Service
I would very much like to see a professional/dependable Secure Bike Valet Service offered. We would ride our bicycles to the Market if they were going to be safe while unattended. Kingston has a very serious bike theft problem - locking to a post only slows the thieves by about 2 minutes. Let me know if you wish to know how to run such a service. Thanks, James
