Ucluelet is backing out of its plan to charge tourists parking fees after a congestion of opposition revved up against it. The plan called for visitors from outside the West Coast to be charged a flat daily rate of $10 to park their vehicles for one-day, $27 for three days or $45 for seven days. Annual parking passes would be available to frequent visitors for $50. The fees would be in place year-round and in effect on all public roadways.
