So, here is the deal from a friend of mine who just went down to the channel. Coming in to the channel from Thompson Bay ~ 100 yards on the left is cordoned off no parking. Then a little further up, the same holds true for the right side. Apparently they are alternating the no parking areas. My friend did not walk the whole channel so he is not sure if it is just in the narrow area or if it extends all the way to the bridge.
