Hundreds of RVs could line the waterfront in Vancouver's upscale Kitsilano neighbourhood during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

On Monday, the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation voted to convert parking lots at Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks into lots for recreational vehicles from Feb. 10 to March 2, 2010.

For $95 a night, visitors can reserve one of 110 spots at Jericho Beach or one of 255 at Spanish Banks.

Park Board commissioner Aaron Jasper said the move is an attempt to address the expected shortage of RV space in Metro Vancouver during the Games.

"We could have these folks either camping in shopping mall parking lots in an uncontrolled way or we could have an actual area that is controlled, monitored and supervised, and I think it's in everybody's interest to go that route," he said.

In a written statement, the board said it would send out information to nearby residents, with an opportunity to ask questions or provide feedback.

The board said visitors would be able to make reservations after a site operator is chosen in July.
