Visitors to one of Alberta's most popular tourist destinations will be paying significantly more for parking this summer, should they decide to drive.
Paid parking at the Lake Louise lakeshore was introduced in 2021 as part of a two-year pilot program to incentivize the use of transit, reduce demand for parking and to help offset the cost of traffic management in the area.
The fee to park for a day when the fees were introduced was $11.70.
In 2022, it rose to $12.25 due to Consumer Price Index adjustments.
Then in 2023, it climbed once again to $21 a day.
This year, it will increase to $36.75 per day.
That's a 75 per cent increase from last year, and a 214 per cent spike from when paid parking was introduced in 2021.
