Port Colborne is looking at major changes to Nickel Beach.
The popular beach has famously featured on beach parking but a recent decision by Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks means that is coming to an end.
This evening council will consider a plan to build new parking lots that will cost the city $1.3-million.
The ministry is imposing the ban on parking due to Fowler's Toad an animal protected by the Endangered Species Act.
The parking ban is effective immediately and plan before council hopes to have the new parking lots in place by this summer.
